LUWFC 1st Game: Away versus Liverpool John Moore’s 2nds Date: 18th October 2006Kick Off: 2.00pm Fresh faces were abundant in the Lancaster University Women’s Football team as they kicked off their first game of the season. Numerous spaces had been made in the squad, after many of the players from last season graduated early this year. Even though the starting line up for Lancaster was unrecognizable from the winning team last season, the old timers, or second years shall we say, ensured that the new players were involved in the spirit of last year, which led the team to winning the league and promotion into the next division. Lancaster knew that they must make an impact and start the season on a high note. The game commenced and all eyes were on the ball. Lancaster started off bright and in control of the game, constantly pursuing the ball and pushing John Moore’s back into their half. The new Lancastrian players looked comfortable in their positions and the old timers shouted plenty of encouragement to keep the team working together. Within eleven minutes Lancaster were winning by two goals to nil, the first goal scored by Rebecca Baxter and the second scored by Sue Wynes, who was wonderfully assisted by captain of the women’s football Catherine McCartan. Emily Hyslop then scored a goal in the 23rd minute of the game and Lancaster looked strong and positive. On the 35th minute Sue Wynes scored her second goal of the game, John Moores defence appeared to struggle with the tripartite striker formation Lancaster had adopted. The half time score was 4-0 and the Lancaster players came off for a reassuring team talk. Eager to top up their goal count, the Lancaster Ladies stepped out on the pitch before John Moores. The second half did not begin well for Lancaster, in the 50th minute a penalty was awarded to John Moores. The penalty was taken but confidently saved by Lancastrian goalie Katie Perry, unfortunately a rebound shot was struck and John Moores salvaged a goal back. After the goal Lancaster lost a little of their steam but managed to resurrect their spirit, too much in some cases as a player from each team was booked for dissent, however if you can’t get passionate for your team, what can you do? As Lancaster started to push forward again, John Moores began to struggle with the attacking pace of Lancaster as the strikers tore up their defence. A wonderful one handed save was required by the John Moores Keeper when Kathryn Montgomery tricked two defenders and dodged the keeper before shooting. The John Moores keeper had managed to track back from her first attempt at stopping shot to save the second strike. Lancaster was then caught on the break and in the 58th minute John Moores had a near miss while Lancaster was sighing with relief. From then onwards Lancaster collected themselves and looked the more organized team. This was rewarded by another three goals; the first and second were scored by Sue Wynes in the 68th and 74th minute. And the last goal was a cracker from Jenny Murphy, who was brilliantly assisted by the talents of Sue Wynes. The final Score of the match was 1-7. Although at some points in the match Lancaster looked shaky overall the team performance was tremendous. Special mention should go to Georgia Phillipson who was voted Woman of the Match by her peers and coach for her excellent display as sweeper. Lancaster is looking forward to continuing this standard of play in their up and coming matches.

Lancaster started with a change in formation, starting with a 4-4-2 format rather then the formation used in the previous game 3-5-2. There were a few minor adjustment made to the team to conform to the new formation, but the starting eleven was mostly the same. The whistle was blown and the first half began, from this point Lancaster struggled to involve themselves in the match and remained on the back foot for the majority of the first half. Liverpool Hope consistently pushed on the Lancaster defense and completely disregarded Lancaster with their strong forceful passes and linked runs. Within 11 minutes Liverpool were winning by two goals to nil. The second goal scored by Liverpool Hope resulted from a penalty kick. Katie Perry, the Lancaster goalkeeper, dived the right way but was a few inches from stopping the shot. Lancaster at this point could have easily been three goals down. In the opening minute of the game Liverpool went straight for the kill and a mixture of clever runs and strong passes resulted in a goal, however the goal was deemed offside by the officials and the reality for Lancaster was to compose themselves. Up until the 30th minute, Lancaster appeared to be a weaker side. The only real attack they had on the Liverpool goal was struck by Sue Wynes and unfortunately this hit the post. However, for the last fifteen minutes of the first half Lancaster organized themselves and started to work together. This resurgence of team spirit did not stop Liverpool Hope scoring on the 44th minute, making the half time score 0-3. The whistle was blown and half time was indicative of resolving the problems, after team talks and re-hydration the second half commenced. It soon became apparent that Lancaster were making something of the game and Liverpool were being pushed further and further back into their own half, their attacking runs were being held by the Lancaster defense and Liverpool became less poised on the ball. Much of the play in the second half was now shared, Lancaster were showing the quality of football they could play and Liverpool started to struggle with this new found push. This resurrection of talent in the second half was awarded with two Lancaster goals, both of which were scored by Jenny Murphy. Jenny was awarded Woman of the match due to her brilliant contribution. By the end of the match the tables had turned and Lancaster looked a completely different team; a team that could have easily won the match if they had played in their customary style in the first half. The match itself was very gritty and highly fought out. The final score ended up 2-3. This match was team building for Lancaster; we now look forward to the next match where this can be practiced further.
LUWFC 1st Game: Away to Liverpool John Moore’s 1st teamDate: 1st November 2006Kick Off: 2.00pm After the defeat at home to Liverpool Hope, Lancaster wanted to regain some of their composure and were determined to start and finish their second away game by working as a team. With the 4-4-2 formation being adopted for the second week, there were a few minor changes to the starting line up for Lancaster. The sun was shining on the pitch as the whistle blew to signify the start of the match. The Lancaster Ladies were facing the sun in the first half, which, as always, made visibility extremely difficult. Lancaster started well and were working together, within ten minutes Liverpool had scored the first goal of the game; a series of sharp one touch passes and diagonal runs, split the Lancaster defense. The referee then made a dubious decision regarding a pass back by one of the Lancaster players, a quick free kick was taken and the result was a goal from Liverpool. With the shock of the decision Lancaster hadn’t organize themselves in time and the consequence was a 2-0 score line. For the second week in a row the girls had to try and recover from a deficit. Liverpool were very lucky at this stage to be winning by two goals, as the second goal had been conceded in a moment of delirium. Lancaster however managed to retrieve a goal back and this lifted the heads of the team tremendously. For the majority of the match both teams had several strikes on goal and there was a continual change in the direction of play. In the second half, a brilliant combination of passes from Sue Wynes and Emily Hyslop resulted in a goal for Lancaster, but the referee deemed it offside, much to the frustration of the Lancaster team. The second half was thoroughly fought out by both sides, and all the players worked extremely hard to give their side the extra edge. The end result transpired to be in favour of Liverpool John Moore’s but by rights the result should have been a draw. Special mention should go to the Lancaster Player of the Match: Katie Perry. Katie is the goalkeeper for Lancaster and she proved her worth and much more in this particular match by saving some of the hardest, trickiest shots in football. Katie performed brilliantly and was praised enormously by her fellow team mates. She rightly deserved Player of the match. LUWFC 4th Game: Away versus Manchester Metropolitan University Date: 8th October 2006
Kick Off: 2.00pm
An exemplary performance from Captain Catherine McCartan inspired what can only be described as one of Lancaster best performance in this weeks match against Manchester. McCartan showed tremendous skill and ability against MMU and hence was rightly voted player of the match by the rest of the squad. Overall the performance of Lancaster was tremendous, and to date Lancaster had not worked as well as a team as they did this week.
Their cohesive play was rewarded shortly into the first half, in the 17th minute McCartan made a brilliant run, and scored to enable Lancaster to go ahead; this was followed by mostly attacking play from Lancaster, who dominated the majority of the first half. The few times that Manchester looked slightly threatening were easily brushed away by the work of the Lancaster defense. Strong and clinical; their tackles were a big reason why Lancaster were winning.
The strong defense was consistently being organized by the central defenders Faye Garrett and Laura Cook, who played brilliantly and continuously throughout the match. Unfortunately a tackle on the left back Georgia Phillipson resulted in her being taken off at half time with a sprained and extremely swollen ankle. However up until the injury Phillipson had been her usual study and uncompromising self, every tackle she made won the play back for Lancaster. Kathryn Montgomery, who had been playing in centre midfield, dropped back into the left back position in the second half and played brilliantly, it was another excellence performance from a Lancaster first team regular.
In the 34th minute, Lancaster scored a second goal with the help of the talented Emily Hyslop. Another brilliant set of passes and a shot by Hyslop resulted in Lancaster being two nil up. Consistent pressure was being applied to the Manchester defense who was struggling to cope with numerous attacking runs being made. Lancaster were playing the kind of football they had been trying to revive in recent weeks and as the half time whistle blew, heads were high and spirit was soaring.
The second half saw much of the same attacking form from the first forty five. In the 51st minute Sue Wynes scored a goal to make the score line 0-3. Wynes had been threatening for most of the first half and had a lot of close chances; the goal scored by her was rightly deserved and only made her hungry for more. Lancaster continued to push on the defense and continued to work as a team. In the 59th minute however a lapse of concentration led to a goal being scored by Manchester. A corner was taken and one of their strikers headed the ball in. A weak goal conceded by Lancaster meant that they recomposed and ensured no more goals were scored. The end result was 1-3 to Lancaster. Again special mentioned should go to the Lancaster captain for being awarded Player of the Match and for her overall brilliant performance.
LUWFC 5th Game: Home versus Liverpool John Moore’s 2nds Date: 22nd November 2006
Kick Off: 2.00pm
Due to poor conditions and lighting, Lancaster Women’s home game kicked off slightly earlier then usual. The Lancaster Ladies were all eager to play a competitive game after the previous home game was called off due to a waterlogged pitch. The game commenced and just on the other side of twelve minutes Lancaster was a goal up courtesy of Sue Wynes.
A strike this early on can sometimes prove difficult for teams, as their heads are lifted but concentration can drop. However, Lancaster continued on this good form for the first half but without the reward of goals. Wynes had two good chances around the 16th minute but could not find the back of the net. Lancaster were playing brilliant football and to help them battle against the tough conditions they opted for the passing game rather then long through balls.
After some brilliant attacking football, Wynes was set up for another brilliant shot on goal and scored within the 40th minute, however five minutes later, Lancaster were caught unaware whilst on the attack, and with a defender down, Liverpool were able to take advantage of the right sided space and scored from this. Lancaster in reply to this went on an immediate attack, pushing the ball through for Wynes again to score. This left the half time score at 3-1 to the home side.
The second half began with Lancaster Captain and vice captain, commanding the players to ensure the team was organized. The side was looking strong and the tackles made, were clinical and effective. In the 51st minute, Wynes scored a third goal for her team and then again three minutes later. Wynes then crossed a lovely ball across the goal mouth for Nadia Crellin to slot in to make it 5-1 to the home team.
Lancaster continued to play some superb one touch football and several attacking chances were taken but didn’t quite go between the two sticks. Liverpool managed to sneak another goal back but in the 85th minute Wynes scored the seventh goal for Lancaster and last goal of the match, making the final score 7-2 to the home side.
A difficult game in difficult conditions meant that the Lancaster Ladies really had to work hard for each other, the team managed to play some excellent football and at the end of the match it was a struggle to choose player of the match. Two players however that are deeply rooted in the club and are a blessing to the team are to be mentioned. Firstly Sue Wynes, who is the top goal scorer for Lancaster, played superbly and scored six of the seven goals, she is a consistent performer and a brilliant member of the team.
And the Player of the Match voted for by her fellow players for her sterling efforts, wise words and voice of encouragement was Kathryn Montgomery. Kathryn put in a brilliant effort and organized the team to match her standards.
LUWFC 6th Game: Away versus Liverpool Hope Date: 17th January 2007
Kick Off: 2.00pm
After two intensive days of training to work off those minces pies and chocolate puddings, Lancaster Women’s Football team seemed ready and prepared for their first match of the season. The team, who were missing two first team regulars, Laura Cook and Emily Hyslop, were determined to make a mark and improve their form from their Christmas run. The women at the minute are currently second in the league and are trying to play catch up with the phenomenal Liverpool University team who have pretty much flattened any opposition they have played.
The match however was edged with a very heavy and sticky pitch and extremely strong winds. In the first half Lancaster were running with the wind, but the positive attitude adopted prior to the game became invisible soon after the game commenced, the game for the first half was very sporadic and there were only brief spells of quality football being played. Lancaster managed to take advantage of one of these spells, a good one two by two of the players from the Lancaster defense and then a brilliant ball from Kathryn Montgomery resulted in Sue Wynes controlling the ball beautifully and slotting it in the net for Lancaster to take the lead. This nicely played piece of football obviously inspired the Lancastrians in someway because another goal was scored in less then five minutes, Wynes again took her opportunities and put Lancaster up by two nil.
The half time whistle blew and for Lancaster the score line was brilliant but their football had not been and the Liverpool Hope team may have wondered how on earth they were two nil down. In defense for Lancaster, there had been slight difficulty in the first half with formation as positions had to be swapped because a substitution had been made. Lianne Upton had to be taken off because of an asthma attack. Up until that point Upton, on her debut performance for the university had been playing the position of left back brilliantly.
After a harsh few words at half time, Lancaster returned to the pitch to finish the job, approximately 15 minutes in Liverpool gained a goal back and their heads were up from then on. After a further five minutes, Liverpool equalized, another good move and brilliant goal meant the home team renewed their confidence. Although the move and goal were good, they were easily stoppable if Lancaster had of pulled together as a team, but for the most of the second half the teams fragmentary status nearly resulted in their demise. Once Liverpool equalized the push of their team was commendable, each player working harder and harder for them to close their game in style, if it was not for the unskilled finishing Lancaster may have lost by 20 goals. Luckily for the Lancastrians, Katie Perry was in goal to help out a lot of the shots and in the last fifteen minutes of the second half, from some where inside them, the Lancaster players suddenly had a surge of desperation and a wanting, which resulted in a brilliant piece of football finishing with Wynes selflessly passing the ball to Catherine McCartan, in order for the Lancaster Captain to score the winning goal. The game drew to a close with Lancaster feeling extremely lucky for winning against a team whose high work ethic should be admired. Hopefully, Lancaster may be inspired by this and maybe for their next few games the football that the ladies usually play will reappear. I personally blame the mince pies.
Special mention goes to Katie Perry, the resident keeper for Lancaster was voted Player of the Match by the rest of the team.
LUWFC 7th Game: Away versus UCLAN (University of Central Lancashire) Date: 22nd November 2006
Kick Off: 2.00pm
After last weeks disappointing performance, Lancaster Women’s Football team was determined to step up their game….literally. This week’s game was slightly more pressured then usual as not only was it a BUSA League game but the result was also being accounted for in the Lancashire Cup competition. UCLAN have quite a reputation for being an extremely sports orientated university and this was highlighted through their impressive sports facilities which boasted at least seven football pitches, running tracks, astro-turf pitches and netball courts. If there sporting facilities were anything to go by Lancaster should have been preparing for a battle immediately.
The game started off and Lancaster similar to last week didn’t seem to have their heads in the game, tackles were being missed and simple balls were made difficult, everything carried out by the team seemed only to increase pressure rather then defuse it. With in the first twenty minutes of the match UCLAN were two goals up, reckless tackles and players mistiming their approaches meant that UCLAN were able to confidently and neatly take the lead. By half time, Lancaster were 3-0 down to the home side, again the Lancaster had played good football in spells but the unity with in the team was not apparent.
After another stern team talk and substitutions the second half started and Lancaster began to push forward and the football being played was of a better quality then the first half. UCLAN were beginning to feel significant pressure from Lancaster, a freak blank spell in the mind of the UCLAN keeper, meant that Lancaster were able to score a goal back making the score line 3-1. The UCLAN keeper mistakenly caught the ball from a long kick from the Lancaster midfield and instead of playing a simple ball to her right she kicked the ball across the goal towards her left back, however she completely miss aimed and the ball fell into the path of Sue Wynes who netted one for the Lancastrians.
Lancaster from this point should have made more of their attacking run. The team continued to push forward in a confident manner while their opposition appeared to be feeling the strain, simple passes and moves which UCLAN had made looked so easy in the first half were beginning to become rash and thoughtless. Late on in the second half tired legs and heads from Lancaster resulted in the superb strike force of the UCLAN team being able to capitalize on their lead with another two goals to make the final score 5-1.
Although this score line reflects badly on Lancaster, it doesn’t fairly reflect the match. UCLAN had a superb strike force but if Lancaster had not sat as deep and had adopted an attacking front rather then a defensive one things may have been very different. All that needs to be said is: Bring on the rematch.
Special mention goes to Georgia Phillipson who was voted player of the match by the rest of the team.
LUWFC 8th Game: Home versus Manchester Metropolitan Date: 31st January 2007
Kick Off: 2.00pm
Football is multifaceted, sometimes teams perform atrociously and other times things just work. The eighth game of the season saw the latter for Lancaster Women’s football team, it was a fine day for football and it was a fine day of football. The ladies managed to quash their previous two performances to gain a well deserved victory. In high spirits and with the threat of having a very angry captain at the end of the match, the team pulled together and gained the result required to put them back to second place in the league.
Lancaster got off to an extremely positive start, consistently pushing forward and making movements to enable them to keep up an attacking front. Their formation had been slightly altered from the game against UCLAN and they switched from 4-4-2 to 3-5-2. This change gave the team the drive in midfield in order to push forward and attack.
Superb passing and movement by Lancaster enabled Rachel Mckinley to score in the eighth minute from a lovely tee up by Emily Hyslop. After this initial boost Lancaster remained focused and continued in the same positive manner, however Manchester started to regain some kind of poise and also started to push forward but this merely highlighted the talents of the Lancaster defense and every ball was cleared immediately.
Within the 12th minute however Lancaster was two nil up. Nadia Crellin made a fantastic run down the right wing then slotted the ball through to Hyslop who finished the job off and placed the ball in the bottom right hand corner. Four minutes later Lancaster added another goal to the score line as Hyslop tallied up her second of the game with a skillful lob of the keeper. The 19th minute saw Lancaster creep up to 4 goals, brilliant movement by the Lancastrian midfield enable Kathryn Montgomery to beat the keeper and put one in the back of the net.
The second half showed a more consistent Manchester side, they stopped any real flow of play from Lancaster. Manchester managed to intercept movements from the home side which had been relentless in the first half. Lancaster didn’t make as much as they could have from set pieces which held them back from expanding their score line to a double figure. Hyslop was denied her deserved hat trick in the second half, when she went one on one with the keeper but couldn’t quite mange to get round her. In the 80th minute Lancaster were awarded a penalty but again they didn’t manage to convert this.
The game finished 4-0 and although Lancaster didn’t increase their goal count they managed to keep a clean sheet. Manchester managed to gain some composure to up the ante of the game but overall it was a very impressive and well deserved victory for Lancaster.
Special mention goes to Nadia Crellin and Emily Hyslop, both of whom were voted Player of the match.
LUWFC 9th Game: Home versus UCLAN Date: 7th February 2007
Kick Off: 2.00pm
Another week and yet again LUWFC were at the mercy of Mother Nature as their all important match against UCLAN had to be reorganized as away fixture due to frozen pitches at LAncaster. Baffled by the fact that this game was not cancelled? Yes, so was the football team. Preston is a mere half and hour away and despite it being known for its sunnier climates, it too had frozen pitches. However Lancaster pulled out all the stops for this game and was determined to win it.
The match started at a high pressure and never decreased. From the off Lancaster showed that they were in this for victory and nothing less. After suffering a humiliating defeat to UCLAN two weeks prior, the Lancashire ladies were in good form, wanting the ball and coordinating themselves well. This desire pushed them to score the first goal, a fabulous move from Sue Wynes gave Lancaster the lead.
However it was not the first goal that mattered so much, rather it was more about how Lancaster would deal with the reaction of a very organized, hard working UCLAN side. Lancaster remained consistent and continued to play some lovely football. However against play, UCLAN were able to make a move which resulted in a goal.
Lancaster reacted immediately and affectively and pushed forward once more. Both teams were competing heavily and the drive was phenomenal. Just before half time, the situation turned for Lancaster as UCLAN were awarded a penalty. The Lancaster defender and midfielder involved in the penalty were baffled by this decision but the referee stood firm and remained resolute on his decision.
The penalty was taken and scored resulting in UCLAN taking the lead, although this did not reflect the game as it was very much level to this point. The half time whistle blew and both teams went off for team talks and drinks.
The second half started in the same vain as the first, Lancaster were pushing forward in great style and UCLAN had to rely heavily on their defenders and goalkeeper to ensure Lancaster did not equalize. After approximately fifteen minutes into the second half Lancaster made a tactical substitution introducing Rachel McKinley an attacking player in exchange for a more defensive player.
This substitution made an immediate impact and within seconds of Mckinley stepping on the pitch Lancaster had scored, courtesy of Sue Wynes. The game continued with Lancaster pushing forward, there were a few occasions when UCLAN stepped back up however Ali Ling the Lancastrian keeper made some awesome saves to keep UCLAN out.
The overall performance of the team was fantastic, playing brilliant football and working as a unit. The team managed to revenge their 5-1 defeat and now it is on to Sunday where the team has to battle for their place in the national competition. Knockouts here we come.
Player of the match was Emma Kevin, voted by the majority of her peers after a sterling performance.
LUWFC 10th Game: Home versus Liverpool John Moore’s 1st’sDate: 11th February 2007
Kick Off: 2.00pm
Tensions were huge, and expectations high as Lancaster Women’s football team faced the league winners in a match that, if won, guaranteed them a place in the national knockout competition and also would award them second place in the league. Lancaster had to go into this with their heads in the right place and their concentration high.
Lancaster began the game extremely well and within the first five minutes a brilliant movement forward and a magical shot by Sue Wynes gave Lancaster an early lead. The next ten minutes saw several attempts at goal by Lancaster, including one brilliant move which broke from the half way line. A great through ball from Wynes to Catherine McCartan meant McCartan broke free from the Liverpool defenders; she selfishly passed the ball to Emily Hyslop who shot. Hyslop’s shot hit the keeper but McCartan was there to head in the shot, it narrowly missed and hit the crossed bar instead. After this Lancaster were determined to hit the back of the net on the next push forward and did this with style. In the sixth minute a brilliant slicing ball by McCartan enable Wynes to add to her goal tally with another exquisite goal.
From this point onwards, basically the rest of the match, LUWFC were a constant threat on goal and should have had many more in the first half. Wynes, Hyslop, McCartan all had several chances but the Liverpool Keeper managed to keep a lot of the shots out with a flailing leg or arm. However, LUWFC were hit by two injuries in the first half, and both situations were not dealt with calmly by the referee, who quite frankly was not ready to take on a university game. Emma ??? came off with a sprained ankle replacing her was Andrea ???. Next off was Sue Wynes who unfortunately pulled her quadriceps and couldn’t continue to play, Wynes was replaced by Rachel Mckinley. The rest of the first half was full of tension and irritation as one of the Liverpool players continued to be quite frankly rude and obnoxious, whilst also recklessly tackling the Lancaster players and diving an awful lot.
The half time whistle blew and Lancaster came off the pitch angered and irritated, whether it was towards themselves or others remains a debate. A quick team talk from the captain brought the team back together, McCartan urged that the team had not yet won this match and things could easily change.
The second half brought several more attempts at goal by Lancaster: McCartan, Mckinley, Hyslop all should have had their names on the score sheet in the second half. Lancaster were then unfairly awarded two yellow cards almost back to back, which may I point out is extremely unusual in the women’s league and so therefore hopefully will be investigated. However, after another brief moment of madness, Lancaster scored in the 22nd minute. A brilliant corner by Kathryn Montgomery enabled Faye Garrett to head one home. This goal spurred Lancaster to continue playing football despite the resilience of the opposing side to turn it into a poor excuse for a match. For the rest of the second half Lancaster continued to look threatening and deserved much more from the game. Although they also deserved much more from the opposing side who had won the league and should have had more pride in themselves.
By all accounts, the game was going to be an interesting one, the last game against this team included a controversial free kick which enabled Liverpool to win. However no body expected the game to be as entertaining as it was, two yellow cards, several reckless tackles later, Lancaster ended up winning 3-0 and gaining a place in knockouts.
Cest la vie to this odd Sunday game and onto nationals. Well done to the entire Lancaster Womens team. And a special mention goes to Jenny ??? and Catherine McCartan who played absolutely brilliantly and were voted joint player of the match by the rest of the team.
An add on by Christopher Rudd of County College:
It’s all thanks to Chris Rudd’s 89th minute substitute appearance dressed stunningly in a blonde wig and really short shorts. His 3 goals saved Lancaster from complete embarrassment and kept their reputation in tact. Chris Rudd is truly the greatest player to ever have worn the Lancaster women’s jersey. Numerous members of both teams also commented how sexy he was for a women. Perhaps it was with these stunning looks he dazzled the opposing team or maybe it was just because he is such a wonderful footballer. Thank you Chris, we owe so much to you. Amen.
