The Dirty 2s travelled to Rivermead for their first away game of the season ready to bag another 3 points and have a lovely time doing it. Reading took early control despite some patchy play and were on the scoreboard early when Jenjer blasted home from a well won corner; she then added another 2 [...]
The first game of the new season took place in unseasonably tropical weather much to the delight of the noisy home crowd who enjoyed the sun, a few beverages and good old heckle. Reading took early control and played the ball round surprisingly well (given that it’s pretty much a totally new look Dirty 2s) [...]
The Dirty 2s finished the Trysports Three Counties Premier 1 League on 43 points in 5th place overall, a mere 10 points shy of the top place, and a somewhat disappointing result considering we were sitting pretty at the top of the table until mid-February. Statistically from 22 league matches, we won 14; lost 7 [...]
Following the Easter break the Dirty 2s came together for their last (rearranged) game of the season, and on a sunny April morning we strode confidently onto the pitch with nothing less than a win on our minds, a song in our hearts and Melmans final team talk ringing in our ears! Reading started strongly [...]
Reading travelled to Henley for a rearranged fixture determined to turn in a solid performance and defend Evans’ bet of a tenner. The Dirty 2s started strongly and were quickly on the board when Jenjer found space in the D to turn and shoot. She added to her tally shortly after when she tapped in [...]
Reading started the game in fine fettle and looked a different team to the one that met Marlow the previous weekend. Decisive passing and great ball speed saw Reading able to apply early pressure by working the ball down the wings to open up the defence with some piercing crosses – alas Jenjer hit the [...]
A slow start to a rearranged fixture from December saw Reading 2 goals down in the first half – the Dirty 2s slow to get into the game for some reason. The second half saw a totally different Reading side return to the fray and bring the score line back to 2-2 through Gilly and [...]
Reading travelled to Tilsley Park on a beautifully tropical Saturday to play a young side in the process of rebuilding after losing nearly all their senior players. There was an air of festivity within the Dirty 2s and we took to the pitch with big smiles and Mels instruction to “have fun!” ringing in our [...]
Reading travelled down the M4 on a cold Saturday morning to face 9th placed Slough, looking for maximum points and a lovely time. The Dirty 2’s struggled to get used to the pitch which although a water base, was loose-weaved, spongey underfoot and incredibly bouncy – but we still managed to get on the scoreboard [...]
The Dirty 2’s arrived at Sonning Lane to find a fairly frosty pitch. Much debate was held, and a ‘new’ game called ice hockey was created (thanks Jos!) before the decision was made to water the pitch to in an effort to make it playable. A delayed start time did nothing to dampen Reading’s determination [...]
