Following last weeks 2-1 win over league leaders Swindon Spitfires, Poole travelled away to face them again but this time in the 2nd round qualifier of the FA cup.
Poole started slowly and couldn't find their usual passing game. Spitfires scored twice in succession before Poole pulled one back through Bev Symes, only to concede a late goal before half time - HT 3-1 down.
The second half saw a rejuvenated Poole and the never say die attitude that is Poole Town. Everyone upped their game, first to the ball, strong challenges and never giving up hope. The attitude of all the players was first class and as Poole continued to press they got their breakthrough with Faye Hawkins scoring twice to take it to extra time.
Two minutes into extra time and Faye got her deserved hat trick - her work rate was second to none. Despite injuries and heavy legs, the team worked hard to hang onto the game. FT 3-4 - what a fantastic comeback from the team.
Roll on the 3rd round qualifier :-)
