Under grey dry skies and mild temps our Women’s Team continued their league campaign on the school’s brand-new artificial pitch. The hosts seemed determined to play from the back however Hill pressed well leading to a lot of early possession.  Chloe Chesworth had a brilliant afternoon at left back feeding in some wonderful crosses. On 20 mins Brogan Kirk skipped into the box and fired Hill into a deserved lead.   Meg Hoare (Player of the Match) had a 1st half to remember pouncing to score a memorable hat trick.    Four nil at half time.

Hollingbury put up a stronger fight early in the 2nd half.  It meant Hill had be disciplined at the back. Mid way through the Hill keeper was called into action to make a full length save.  Credit to the hosts for keeping going.  However, Hill weren’t to be denied as Hoare capped an excellent day late on when rounding the keeper to slot home the 5th goal.

Our Women’s team have picked up six points in two games and are climbing the Sussex Women’s Championship.  With nine of 16 games still to play the squad have put themselves firmly in the Title race. 

Manager Tom Clingo said ‘That was a very positive performance today especially in the 1st half. But credit to Hollingbury who are well trained and made life difficult for us’  Jacob Bennett said ‘individually we did our jobs well and that makes you a team’  Tom continued ‘I was delighted for Meg today who was the Player of the Match she was outstanding!’  With Nine league games and a cup match to go Jacob explained ‘we work hard with this team as all of us want to have a successful season’

Our New Chairman and CEO David and Vicky Corney were at the match, and they introduced themselves to the squad after the game. 

The team are back in action at the Home Call on Sunday 2nd March against Mile Oak 2pm KO.  Why not make a date and get to the stadium have a drink and support our wonderful Women’s Team.
