Bridget is another player who has been with Exeter for many years and was the centre-forward and top goal scorer for quite a few seasons. However with the changes in the side, Bridget has adapted well to the left side of the forward line. With her advantage in height and ability to strike a ball hard and direct from sixteen yards and more Bridget can score goals that impress upon the mind. Her long stridge also holds her in good stead for sprints against the opposition which can have damaging effects on any defence.
