In their tenth year of visiting England and establishing a
partnership with Arsenal Ladies, Musashigaoka college put out a
strong and disciplined team in their last friendly last night
eventually losing 2-0.
Arsenal fielded their first team in the first half and got off
to a lightening start and scored through a Lianne Sanderson goal
with only 1 minute on the clock. Jayne Ludlow then made it 2-0
after 35 minutes. The Japanese team quickly regrouped and held the
score for the rest of the half.
In the second half saw a complete change for the Gunners by
fielding their young players, who pressed on and added a
further goal from Kerr.
Arsenal now have just one more friendly against Millwall this
weekend before the start of the season for both the first team, who
play Blackburn away, and the reserves who take on Bristol Academy
at home on Sunday 20th August.
