Middlesex Division Four

Ashford Ladies 3rd XI 2 v Indian Gymkhana 2nd XI 1

The benefit of having first team coach MANDY WAIN in charge and a squad of thirteen players to chose from, gave the Ladies third team a big boost for their home game on Saturday 21/11/09. They monopilised the game from the start, but seemed unable to put the ball in the back of the net, depsite numerous attacks and some creative play. However, vice captain KIM DOWNS eventually found the net shortly before half time with a fine shot to give the Red & Blacks a 1-0 lead.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Ashford’s player of the match SAM CLAREY playing prompting well, but the Red & Blacks unable to find the back of the net. Almost inevitably the visitors took adavantage when a momentarily lapse of concentration at the back let them into equalise. Ashford rallied though and ELIZE BROWN notched the winner after a good cross from the right to give them a desreved 2-1 victory.

Team: C. Pouler, D. Brown, J. English, H. Busby, H. Stokes (Skipper), S. Westlake, P. Shoebridge, K. Downs, E. Brown, H. Mock, S. Clarey, G. Pyle, B. Hewes
