Our latest trip to face Hampstead & Westminster had a fresh dynamic, with most of the squad traveling together by train. This change provided valuable team bonding, with teamwork kicking off early as we navigated through the Underground and london streets.

Arriving in good time and full of energy, the team was pumped and ready to secure the result we knew we deserved this week.

Despite facing a tough opposition, we held our ground, delivering standout performances across the pitch. With Hampstead pressing hard, our defensive line showed remarkable work rate and resilience throughout the match. A special shout-out to Sioned (Neddy), our standout defender, whose tireless efforts earned her the well-deserved title of player of the match. From the first whistle, she led by example and kept us solid at the back.

Unfortunately, the match took a tough turn with Canterbury conceding Hampstead first goal.
Determined to fight back and level the score, we pushed hard throughout the game, but despite our best efforts, we couldn’t find the equalizer.

Though the outcome may not have fully reflected our performance, the determination and teamwork displayed leaves us confident moving forward.
