The Round-Up
Essex – Sunday 18th September
Essex Women’s Premier Division
Lawford Ladies go top of the Essex Women’s Premier Division as they followed up a 5-1 home win on the opening weekend against newly promoted Wickford Town Ladies with a crushing 10-0 victory away from home against Walden Ladies this Sunday a result that sees their opponents drop to the foot of the table. 2 wins from 2 both Harlow Town Ladies and Chelmsford City Ladies who had also won on the opening day were involved in the Women’s FA Cup.
That saw Eastern Avenue climb into 2nd place in the Premier Division as they followed up an opening weekend draw at home to Runwell Sports Ladies with a comfortable win away to Hutton Ladies Reserves. Liane prior scoring twice for Eastern Avenue, Hannah Warner, Elizabeth Allen and Mollie Rose with goals to their names to the final score 5-0.
Collier Row Tigers were beginning their Premier Division season at home this Sunday taking on newly promoted Alresford Colne Rangers who had lost 7-2 last Sunday in their 1st league game. Lost by the exact same scoreline again Collier Row Tigers netting 7 times to take the 3 points.
One more game from the Premier Division to bring you a clash between 2 of the newly promoted sides with Chigwell Ladies hosting Wickford Town Ladies both losing heavily on the opening weekend it was Chigwell who came away with the 3 points despite trailing by 3 goals to 2 at half-time scored 3 times in the 2nd half to win the match 5-3.
Essex Women’s Division One
Waltham Forest Ladies lost 22-0 away from home on the opening day of the season in Essex last Sunday. The assault on their goal was no less merciful as they played their 1st match at home this Sunday taking on one of the new sides in Division One this season, Corringham Cosmos who go top of the table after plundering a staggering 29 goals. A -51 after just two matches in looks like it’s going to be another tough season for Waltham Forest Ladies. I cross my fingers that one edition of this Round-Up will feature the club winning their 1st ever point. 2 wins from 2 played for Corringham Cosmos.
That huge win by Corringham Cosmos eclipsed the side that scored 22 goals last Sunday. Was a great start to the season by Frontiers Ladies another new side to Division One this season. On Sunday they were away to another new name in the league, FC Clacton Ladies playing their 1st game of the season. Frontiers Ladies made it 2 wins from 2 scoring 2 goals in the 1st half, Hayley King breaking the deadlock on 20 minutes with Sharon Ferguson scoring the 2nd on 35. Jill Bartholomew added a 3rd goal for Frontiers on 60 minutes to secure the 3 points.
Harlow Town Ladies Reserves join Corringham Cosmos and Frontiers Ladies with a 100% winning start to the season making it 2 wins from two themselves at home on Sunday playing Chelmsford City Ladies Reserves. A 3-0 win seeing them take the 3 points. Chelmsford City Ladies Reserves suffering 2 losses at the start of the season.
Benfleet Villa Ladies are another new side in Division One started with a 6-0 home defeat against Harlow Town Ladies Reserves. Were on the road this Sunday playing Southend Town Ladies starting their league season the sides battling out a 1-1 to both get a point on the board.
