A brace by Campbell and a goal from Isherwood earns the Bees a critical three points at home.

 

Both teams started the match with determination with early chances at both ends of the pitch, testing both sides’ defence.

 

The most promising of these chances came from Isherwood who made a run on goal and sent the ball into the net. However, the flag was raised, and the referee called the chance offside.

 

The first goal of the match came in the 22nd minute and began with a pass from Isherwood, found by Campbell who volleyed the ball into the goal.

 

Only eight minutes later Campbell found the ball in the box and once again sent it past the keeper.

 

Vigo was next to take a chance, shooting on goal but was denied by the opposition goalkeeper.

 

Isherwood tried her luck again, taking a shot from the right of the box with the ball just going wide.

 

The first half ended with the Bees on top after an end-to-end performance.

The Bees started the second half flying with a long shot forwards by Flynn that was collected by Isherwood who secured their third only two minutes in.

 

Cambridge reacted quickly, getting their first goal of the match two minutes later.

 

The conceded goal did not put a stop to the Bees’ relentless attempts to further their lead, continuing to test the opposition back line and keeper.

 

The first substitution for the Bees came with Durn entering the pitch for Vigo.

 

Next, newly signed Hoare was substituted on for Whitelock, making her return to the Bees’ side.

 

Isherwood makes an attempt at a fourth Bees goal, taking a shot from beside the corner flag, wrapping the ball in towards the goal but finds the keeper’s hands.

 

Isherwood then left the pitch for Larkin.

 

In a last-minute attempt to secure her third of the match Campbell took a powerful shot on goal that just hit the crossbar.

 

The final substitution of the match came with Martins coming on in Campbell’s place.

 

The referee blew the final whistle, and the Bees secured three points.
