BISS C1 Girls made the journey across Puxi to Dulwich, who were well organised and gracious hosts. Armed with a strong squad, BISS started the game on the front foot, pressing high and forcing mistakes from the opposing defenders. Dulwich soon managed to find some rhythm and posed their own threat, particularly on the counter with their pacey striker. It was Dulwich who broke the deadlock near the end of the first half when a loose ball in the box was converted.
A few tactical changes in the second half saw Jenna move to central striker and Irene move from the wing into central midfield. This paid dividends as Jenna broke through and finished well on two occasions to make it 2-1 to BISS, before a powerful run and finish from Irene made it 3-1. Towards the end, Lauren pounced on a corner that avoided everybody to continue her own good run of goalscoring, tapping the ball into an open net from the goal line to make the game 4-1.
The full-time whistle soon blew, drawing the end to a very fair yet competitive game of football at Dulwich, Puxi.
Player of the game was awarded to Tina, who played in goal for the second half and made some excellent saves to keep BISS in the lead.
