This was our first game in two months and the girls took a while to settle into the game. In the first minute Northampton had a great chance to take the lead but the Ipswich keeper made an easy save. The Cobblers looked the stronger of the two sides as the game progressed and the team started to gel, helped by some good play around the Ipswich penalty area. From a low cross into the box, Taylor tapped home the first goal of the game to give Northampton a 1-0 lead. Ipswich created several chances but nothing that troubled Jody in goal.

The second period started brightly for Northampton and we really tested the Ipswich keeper. The Suffolk side broke forward and after a lapse of concentration Ipswich were awarded a penalty. Jody stood firm and pulled off a great double save from the penalty with Northampton's defence looking strong.

With Northampton's keeper and backline looking organised, Ipswich found it very hard to create any opportunities. The cobblers continually broke from the back quickly and soon increased their lead to 2-0 through a nicely placed shot from Megan. This was shortly followed from a well timed run from Beth to slot home the third goal of the day for Northampton.

Amy then struck a wonderful shot from out the area that looked destined for goal until the Ipswich keeper pulled off the save of the game. From the resulting corner the Cobblers increased their lead to four through Taylor.

As the period came to an end Megan got her second of the game and Town's 5th with a well worked passing move as she slotted home.
