Chard ladies 1st XI started the season on a high with a 2-6 away win at Burnham. With record October temperatures it was only fitting the goal count for Chard should follow suit.

Team performance was strong, with a tight formation and strong support from defence through to the front line, the ladies moved the ball well to set up goal opportunities.

Persistence and hard work brought goals for Pippa Wyatt, Natalie Wainwright, Emma Barron and a hat trick for Jenny Forsyth.

Jenny Forsyth and Elizabeth Sterland were deservedly awarded joint lady of the match after a demonstration of strength and determination.
