Very much a game of two halves, Scunthorpe dominated the first 45mins with Lisa Telford and Donna Smithson and Claire West all a handful for the Caernarfon defence. The Welsh side occasionally looked dangerous on the counter and Becky Evans in the Scunny goal was called on a few times to keep the score at nil for the home team. Scunny opened the scoring with a deflected own goal. Sue Green was on deadly form with her accurate corners and captain Deb Hearn firstly with a brave glancing header and then Mandy Cook both scoring from her deadball kicks. So Scunthorpe went in 3:0 up at half time and just had to shut up shop for the next half.
The second half was strangely all about Scunny hanging on to the 3 points rather than coasting home. The first Caernarfon goal was a soft goal to give away and it looked like the visitors half time talk had been more effective. After Caernarfon’s goal two in the latter stages and little to report from the Scunny strikers it was looking more like a point each.
Claire West gave way to a short spell by Sophie Bell on the right side. Becky Evans got my Motm.
