After an appalling under performance at Launceston on the Thursday, Bude
travelled to Roche on Sunday 25th.

Starting well, Bude were 2-0 up after 10 minutes, Mandy Bickle and Tegan
Nichols the scorers.

However, Roche broke to pull one back and a deflected cross resulted in a
Bude own goal to level the scoring.  Bude then rallied and played nice
passing football - as a result goals from Sarah Badham and Leona Marsh gave
them back the 2 goal cushion.  A passionate Steph Haydon organised
throughout but a scrappy ball in the area was not cleared by Bude and Roche
managed to make it 3-4 at the break.

Against the wind in the second half Bude had to try harder in what was a
very physical battle.  Nichols netted her second to give some relief but
once again, Roche would not lie down and their strong presence gave them
another goal. Katie Horstmann and Leanne Stanbury worked hard in midfield
and both Nichols and Badham had further shots on goal but it was Roche who
scored next to make it 5-all.  With ten minutes to go a lucky lob gave the
home side the lead for the first time in the match. Bude pushed for another
and Badham was flattened in her quest, but she soldiered on and it was her
magnificent header from a perfect Leanne Stanbury free kick that finished
the scoring at 6-all.
