There was a noticeable difference in BKWT when they faced the ruthless goal-scoring machine that was LCSWT for a second time last season.

As LCSWT attacked the BKWT defence, an offside call was made. BKWT No.5 celebrated the call — with arms raised — applauding the linesman. Shortly after that, another offside call was made. BKWT No.5 applauded the call again, rallying her teammates on.

Even though BKWT went on to lose the game 11-0, I want to believe that they won small, individual battles not captured in the scoreline and left the field proud as a team.
