Arnold Clark Cup - Game day 2 at Coventry Building Society Arena
We are at the Ricoh and Today it's England v Italy. This is followed by and the Korean Republic v Belgium but we have to leave before that. The Lionesses face Le Azzurre. There are more than a few changes for the lionesses. Katie Robinson is starting. Rachel Daly is up front, Jess Park and Laura Coombs in the 10s. Kiera Walsh is back. Roebuck is in goal.
Serena's Lionesses are happy to be patient in a fairly even game with a few chances each way. Robbo having an impact down the right wing with her pace. The Lionesses eventually broke the deadlock when RD headed home a cross from Robinson on 32 ⚽.
A couple of half-time changes with Katie Zelam and Jordan Nobbs coming on. The equaliser came on 62 when the ball may or may not have crossed the line after Cantore met a low cross. The controversy was that even if the ball had crossed the line, it appeared to go out before the cross. The crowd ruled the goal out but the ref ignored us. The lead was restored on 71 when RD met another cross from the right with her head ⚽. This time the assist came from Lauren James.
England win but conceded a goal. Serena made a huge number of changes and it was almost a second 11 with most expensive Women's player in the world back in after illness. 6 points from 2 games. Top of the group with 1 game to go. It's all to play for when England meet Belgium at Bristol on Wednesday to try to retain the title.
The Scranometer registered a yummy 7 for the veggie pie. Needed a bit of spice to up the score, a bit like the football.
Nice stadium🏟, easy parking 🚗 but a club shop with no pin badges😢.
See you at the Withdean tomorrow.
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
