PRES – B.El Khatib 2, N.Italiano 2, E.Torre & S.Allen

The final game of the night saw a clash with a bit of feeling as Northcote took on Preston. In what was a shock start, Preston took the lead through Bousra El Khatib who tapped home at the back post. Northcote turned the tide of the contest and bagged the next three goals through a Mary Hubeek brace & a single to Monica Fonua opening up a two goal cushion. Before the break, El Khatib pulled a goal back for her second of the contest to keep Preston in the game at the break.

Early in the second half, Preston were level again as Sidney Allen pounced on a mistake and converted to level the game at three. Preston then took the lead when Elly Torre picked out the top corner, but Northcote hit straight back through Hubeek who completed her hat trick and brought her side level again. Nat Italiano turned well as a target and finished for a 5-4 lead to Preston, but again Northcote had an answer with Tayla Mure toe poking home, and Northcote were level, and soon after Monica Fonua’s second of the game had Northcote level. Some good work late on from Sidney Allen teed up Italiano to send the game to penalties where Preston would fall just short as they missed two spot kicks to hand Northcote a hard fought win.
