Horley Town Ladies 5 - 1 Aldershot Town Ladies

Horley started the brightest, forcing the Shots onto the back foot from the kick off, using the width well, causing the Shots midfield and defence a lot of problems, and with that took just 8 minutes to break the deadlock.

Calder played the ball out to the left hand side, the Horley player picked the ball up and pulled the Shots' defence out of position and crossed for a team-mate to fire in unchallenged.

The second came 5 minutes later with an identical move ball down the right, played in along the forward line, where two un-marked players passed it into the net.

Aldershot just couldn't break out of their own half, and were getting frustrated, caused a rash tackle by a Shots defender on the edge of the 18 yard box. The Horley player teed the ball up and curled the ball into the corner of the net.

The Shots started to get some joy and just before half time nearly had the ball in the net, only for Moore to see her shot sail over the bar.

After half time, the Shots changed tactics and introduced another striker in Tracey Marlow. The Shots started to press and the game was becoming more open and end-to-end. The Shot had a glimmer of hope 8 minutes into the second half, when Hann curled in a delightful free kick from the 18 yard box.

As the Shots went looking for another goal, gaps started to appear around the pitch and Horley started to use this to their advantage. Again the ball came down the right and was switched across the midfield and out to the left. The ball was put into the danger area, but this time all Amber Marsh could do was deflect the ball into the net.

This gave Aldershot a mountain to climb, and as the game came to a close, Horley finished the Shots off. Again, with the Shots pressing for another goal , Horley won the ball in their 18 yard box, and with a quick counter-attack, the final ball was placed at the feet of the forward who out paced the last Shots defender to fire past the Shots keeper.

Andy's Analysis

"A very disappointing result, give a lot of credit to Horley; they where up for this game and we weren't, They played us at our own game and ca ught us out with two quick goals, which took a lot to come back from. With the right aptitude I am hoping the players can bounce back, we let our selves down in every area of the field."
