1000th Goal

Buckingham 2s scored their 1000th goal during their 8-0 defeat of Oxford 2s

In a very competitive game Buckingham started well driving forward and pushing the majority of the game into Oxford's half. Oxford defended effectively until a series of short corners broke the deadlock with Charlie Coumbe scoring from a straight strike after 18minutes and again for Georgie Holme to deflect in the second after 21minutes

In the second half Buckingham's persistence and fitness showed and Oxford became entrenched in defence.

Ella Cusack's cross after only 3 minutes into the half was neatly converted by Andrea Freshwater and marked the teams 1000th goal. Only 4minutes later another cross from Cusack found Freshwater again and raised the score to 4-0.

A demonstration in how to play one-two at pace from Charlie Coumbe and Jaz Needham resulted in Jaz deflecting in the 5th goal off the post. After 50minutes of play a cross from junior Emily Protheroe was slotted in by Andrea for her hat trick.

A further two goals by Jaz Needham and Fi Farley completed the score.
