It was a game of mixed emotions as the W1s left Horsham with 3 points, 2 goals and 1 fractured finger.

The girls got off to a great start, applying early pressure, winning PCAs and creating goal scoring opportunities. Towards the end of Q1, superstar Sof took an early free hit, skinned a few defenders and crossed the ball for Lorna Cruickshank to tap into the net. 1-0 Southgate.

In Q2, Horsham were fighting back, creating some opportunities from break away play. Late on in the quarter they won a corner which team PCD defended well with Powers’ finger taking a fair beating.

In the second half, Emma Mac won ball in the press and played a well-timed line pass to Connie Vickers, who delivered a classic Connie hit to the near post for Lorna to deflect into the goal mouth. 2-0 Gate.

In Q4, the gals in red continued to play some delicious two touch hockey but couldn’t find anymore goals.

The game finished 2-0, gate taking all 3 points and remaining TOTL. Ellie Halliday picked up a well deserved MoM for sweeping up beautifully and searching for attaching opportunities from the back.
