The Round-Up

Cambridgeshire – Sunday 7th May

Cambridgeshire Women’s Premiership

In the Cambridgeshire Women’s Premiership there was just the one game played on Sunday with St Ives Town Ladies hosting Cambridge University Women both playing their final match of the season. Cambridge University with the chance to secure 2nd spot in the table with a win took the lead in the 12th minute through Kate Ross. Were forced to play with 10 players after travelling with the bare 11 at a turned ankle seeing one of their number unable to continue. Despite that held on to the lead in an action packed flowing game until the closing stages St Ives Town ending strongly getting up the other end to score twice with goals from Lucy Sheeran and Sasha Smith to win 2-1 climb above Newmarket Town Ladies into 4th on goal difference.

Also some great news announced by St Ives Town Ladies today, following a high demand from players wanting to join the club are starting up a new Development side. to compliment the 1st team which is progressing nicely in its 1st 2 seasons.

A distorted run in somewhat in the Premiership as Bar Hill Ladies have ha to concede their last 6 games due to pitch unavailability issues amongst other things late in the season having started strongly would have been a factor in the title race a shame. A couple of games left Treble winners Cambridge United WFC Reserves taking on 2nd placed Netherton United Ladies. Newmarket Town Ladies 3 points back in 5th now will be looking for a big score at home to ICA Sports Ladies to finish as high as they can.
