Ladies Middlesex Division 4

Ashford 3rd XI 6 v West Hampstead 6th XI 0

The Ladies 3′s finished their season on a high note despite missing out on promotion, with a fine victory at home on 27/3/10 against the team four places below them in the League. The 3′s were legally boosted by the inclusion of five regular second team players and also had MANDY WAIN coaching them on the side line. In very pleasant warm conditions, the Red & Blacks settled matters in the first half with some fine team work and four goals. Hard working POLLY SHOEBRIDGE scored a fine opportunist hat trick of goals, whilst veteran LYNNE MORGAN scored the fourth with one of her ‘edge of the circle’ trade mark strikes.

Coach MANDY WAIN rearranged the team in the second half and youngsterd NICKY CROXON and GEORGINA SUTCH both starred in what was a very friendly and enjoyable game. The visitors got more into the game in the second half and had several good shots on goal, but
a very alert LIV WASHER in the Ashford goal coped with things well. The Red & Blacks were still well on top though and right midefielder SAM CLAREY added a brace of goals to make the final score 6-0 to ensure that Club coach MANDY WAIN finished her aHc career with aresounding win. Hat trick girl POLLY SHOEBRIDGE was deservedly voted player of the match.
