Newhaven FC Ladies face Hastings FC Women in the London & South East
Division 1 South
The Dockers ⚓ Ladies host the "U's" Women at Fort Road. The free scoring visitors are 2nd in the league and unbeaten this season with 31 goals in their last 4 league games. The Dockers have lost their last 2 which were cup games but sit mid-table in 7th.
It started badly when the visitors took the lead in the first minute. Oops. By 35 minutes, we were 4-0 down 😮. Annie in goal did a good job of keeping the score down to 4 and stopping them running riot. Having not played well to that point and been out competed all over the pitch, there was a sudden urgency about the Dockers and the last 5 minutes were by far their best spell but no clear cut chances.
A couple of changes at the break made a big difference and there was much more pace to the play. There were a few attacks and some better chances but the "U's" were still the better side. The 4-0 score line for the second half isn't really a fair reflection of the balance of play. Annie in goal having had a great, if busy, 1st half, had a bit of a mare 🐴 in the 2nd and it might have been kept to 2 had she maintained her 1st half form. So an 8-0 loss to a very good side shows the big differences in quality across this division. Some great players in the Hastings side especially no. 19 who was running the show at times.
POTM: Jamie Quinn who came on at the break on the left wing then moving more central later on. She has good pace and made the whole team much more dynamic going forward. Super sub!
No ferry today as the Winter timetable has started and the Seven Sisters is resting up for the Winter. 🚢💤
Hot Chocolate was a lovely 8/10 today. Yum!
See you back here shortly.
