Under a clear night sky and a "sold-out crowd" sitting on the north end wall, standing along the fence and lining the perimeter of the pitch, the Wolues women kept their nerve and focus to strike early (15th minute) with a great team goal, starting from the back, slicing through the midfield and then culminating in a delightful through ball from captain, Zolita Bamford, which was weighted perfectly for Carey to take a touch and arrow an unstoppable shot past a despairing dive from the Avengers keeper who just managed to get her fingertips to the ball as it arrowed into the top left corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Giada Palladino praised
With Giada Palladino keeping the Wolues organised, a back line expertly led by Tinia Van Zoost also included Camille ‘Millie’ Cottreau and Aerin Westlake, whilst the returning Bamford, Charli Sedon and Kya Ridway dominated the midfield, allowing both Ariel Mohammed and Gabi Jermain to showcase their skills.
