St Neots III 3 South Hertfordshire II 1

ST NEOTS made hard work of their match against a tough Hertfordshire team who they struggled to break down. Saints tried to carry the ball up the pitch instead of playing their passing game, and took a while before they opened the scoring as Juliana Dickinson fired home from a short corner. Meg Patrick put them two ahead after some improved passing play.

The visitors did not lose heart, and some good play and a fine solo run led to a couple of goals sneaking in to draw them level. The game looked set for a draw, but Patrick settled the game with a brilliant reverse stick flick.
