At the other end of the pitch, goalkeeper Bernadette produced a string of smart saves, keeping Ealing in the game during key moments. Her confidence and sharp reactions didn’t go unnoticed: the opposition deservedly named her Player of the Match, a choice celebrated proudly by the whole team—as shown by everyone pointing to her in the post-game photo.

It was a tough contest from start to finish, but Ealing demonstrated grit, teamwork, and growing maturity on the pitch. A hard-won draw and a performance the whole squad can be proud of.
