HOCKEY: Chippenham Ladies 4th 1 North Wilts Ladies 0
3:21pm Tuesday 16th March 2010 in
CHIPPENHAM’S narrow victory ensured promotion to Wessex Division Two and avenged a defeat earlier in the season.
Their defence absorbed some early pressure from North Wilts and gave the midfield the platform that they needed to provide plenty of ball up front to the waiting forwards. Despite the quality of play, it took a short corner five minutes from the half-time whistle to finally break the deadlock. Robyn Dobson sweeping in Natalie Motto’s strike.
North Wilts started the second half in more determined mood and attacked, but the Chippenham defence remained solid. Chippenham stepped up a gear and enjoyed the majority of possession but could not find a second.
