Durham
City Ladies won the derby match against South Durham 3-2 to
continue with their promising first season in the Northern
League First Division.
Richardson - Hattrick
|
City dominated from the
start with forward Helen Richardson getting the better of
the South Durham defenders on a number of occasions. Richardson
converted two of these chances to give City a 2-0 lead.
South Durham had a good
spell approaching half time and Swayles pulled a goal back
for the visitors when she dribbled through the midfield and
then chipped Marley in the City goal.
Again, in the second half,
Durham City looked the more likely to take the points and
Richardson completed her hat-trick after a great passing
move involving Magda Carr and Emma Leggett.
Foster - WOM
|
The City defence was playing
well and youngster Zandra Foster was awarded the Woman of
the Match award for a fine performance at right back.
With ten minutes left South
Durham set up an exciting finale when Gwynn chipped in from
the left. However, Durham City held firm to take all three
point.
