A first-half double from Grace Breen after an early opener from Jhanaie Pierre was enough to give our Women’s Under-19s a 3-2 victory in the Professional Game Academy League at Crystal Palace on Wednesday afternoon.
Pierre made an instant impact on her return to Under-19s action as she opened the scoring with just three minutes played before Breen, who wore the captain’s armband, rounded off an excellent first period with two fantastic strikes – curling home a low free-kick before driving home from distance.
A flat performance in the second half allowed the home side back into the contest, who pulled back two goals to create a nervy finish to the game, but we managed to hold on to an important win in our league campaign.
