WELLINGTON Wildcats went down to a disappointing 6-1 home defeat against Bath City Women’s Development in the first division of the Somerset Women’s League.

Playing downhill Leah was bright on the left in the early exchanges, using her pace and experience to find space.

Keeper Jas made a fine low diving save on eight minutes which settled the Wildcats;, Rob and Mille worked well together in the middle of the park and Orlaith on the right worked tirelessly to find space and put the City back line under pressure.

Emilia drew a fine save from their keeper and Wildcats gained plenty of territory without creating scoring chances.

Wildcats defended a few corners and set up counter play finding Emilia again, but they were just not having the run of the ball. Leah was pushed up top for the final ten minutes of the half and after breaking clear saw the keeper push her effort around the post.

On the final play of the half, Wildcats had a lapse of concentration which allowed City to break through to score and take the lead.

Bath almost immediately doubled their advantage from a Wildcat goal kick. Despite a change in personnel Wildcats struggled to gain any foothold or momentum in the following 15 minutes which saw some fine City play almost open the Wildcats at will, and they scored a couple goals to make it 4-0.

Rotating players, the Wildcats found some attacking play with Emilia looking dangerous and Milly pushing forwards. However, Bath scored their fifth on 80 minutes.

Wiltcats finally got on the scoresheet when Emilia went on a good run before scoring.

From the restart Bath retained possession and scored their final goal in what was a disappointing second half performance by Wildcats.
