Eastleigh Ladies lost 2-1 on Sunday to title chasing side Basingstoke Ladies.
On a day that would of made a snowman shiver, Eastleigh Ladies took control and had numerous shots on goal including hitting the woodwork a few times within the first 20 minutes.
Though once the home team picked up momentum, the Spitfires struggled to keep the attack up, battling against the strong winds.
Basingstoke scored just before half time with a well-worked goal that caught Eastleigh on the back foot.
Eastleigh tried to take advantage of the wind in the second half and continued to play the ball down the flanks to our speedy wingers. The Spitfires' strikers made some great runs and Basingstoke didn't know what hit them with Night Akhonya running rings around their defence. Though they played the offside trap well, Night managed to get on the score sheet and equalised for the Spitfires to much joy of the rest of the team and faithful supporters!
Game on! Both teams played some great football and tried to attack without prevail.
Eastleigh's defence held strong and made some crucial tackles to keep the game alive.
Both keepers worked hard to keep the ball out of their net. It took a long ball over the heads of the Eastleigh defence, which was met by a Basingstoke player who controlled it and slotted home to end the game 2-1.
Though Eastleigh tried their best it was just not meant to be! The ladies are back to the league this week with a home fixture against Farnham. 2pm KO.
