Huntingdon started strong and dominated the early moments, but Cottenham regrouped and created the best opportunity of the match when Flo's shot was denied by the goalkeeper.
The score remained 0-0 as we entered the second half, but Huntingdon broke the stalemate 10 minutes in. Ava made a solid save, but their striker capitalized on the rebound to make it 1-0.
The team fought hard for an equalizer, resulting in a frantic final 10 minutes filled with pressure, but the goal eluded us.
The effort was commendable. Marley earned Player of the Game for her tenacious performance in midfield.
