A cold and early January start for a makeshift Ladies 3s made for a lot of grumbles during the warm up.
We didn't let the cold get to us and started well against Ashford stringing some clean passing hockey together unfortunately we couldn't quite finish off the chances we made.
Towards the end of the half Ashford took the lead with a scrappy finish in the D.
The second half started poorly with Ashford converting a short corner and then cementing their lead with a quick third goal.
This woke us up and spurred us on to raise our level with Isla drawing one back with a neat finish from a short corner and Kaitlyn hitting the post.
Into the last ten minutes and we were still pushing to get ourselves back in the game but this left us open to the counterattack and Ashford transitioned from their 23 very quickly to score a fourth goal.
MoM -Alex for good defensive play and fast breaks down the wing
WoW - Karen because she looks good as a burger ?
