The team have trainedjust fire times and were keen to play a match and wear their new kit. sponsored by Berry Game Birds. However. there are only two other female sides in Herefordshire ~ Bartestree and Lads Club — so finding the right opposition for the new team proved tricky. Fortunately. Dave John- son‘s Under~16 Ross Jun- iors‘ girls team. who play in the Gloucestershire Girls League. stepped for— ward. The game attracted quite a bit of interest local- ly. with more than 60 spec— tators turning up at John Kyrle High School to watch the match. The Under-16s proved to be strong opponents and took an early lead before sealing the game with an— other goal after the break. Ross Ladies manager Paul FOOTBALL Flitney said his team were thrilled with the result and are keen for a rematch. “Minnie Hodges. when called on in goal. made some great saves. "And some of the more experienced Ross players. like Danie” Ward, Rosie Davenport and Nicola Wall caused the under-16 de- fence problems all game,“ said Flitney. "Half the current team have played plenty of women‘s and girls' football previously. for many of the others it was their first- ever competitive game of football. "A couple of players have been to as many team so- cials as training sessions, which clearly illustrates the teams ethos is about having fun. getting fit and socialising.“ The team train every two weeks on a Friday. between 6pm and 7.30pm, at John km ’ - »w-§ *S‘sss- \ - 31%} - @fi seats: Ross Juniors Ladies played their first competitive game last Friday. The team only had five training sessions prior to the match against Ross Juniors Girls Under-16$ Kyrle High School. The next session will be on Friday, February 5, with ing place the following Fri- the ladies’ next game tak- day against Welland. Moon laments Lads’ fortune HEREFORD Lads Club player-manager Danny Moon rued his side’s luck after they drew 0-0 with Shifnal Town in West Mid- lands (Regional) League Di~ vision One. Moon felt Shifnal should have had a player sent off early in the game after Tom Harding was through on goal. “He pulled him back when he was-one-on-one and was about to shoot, but he only got yellow carded with a free—kick awarded on the edge of the box,” said Moon. “We hadn’t played since December 5, so we went out to be solid at the start and not concede an early goal. “On the balance of play, it’s probably a point gained, but we had two or three good chances and our keeper didn’t have to make a save.” The draw leaves Lads Club 17 points behind leaders AFC Ludlow, but with six games in hand. It means Moon’s side will have to play four games in the last week of the season. “We have got a big squad and if we win our games in hand we go top,” said Moon. “We could fall apart or we could win them all.’ Kington Town only had a Miles Langford goal to show for their efforts as they went down 2-1 to Team Dudley. 1Bartestree lost 3-0 to Wyr- 6Y- Club holds first winter event GOLF ' ROSS Golf Club celebrated their opening winter event of the year with a 16~holes- and-a—putter stableford com- petition. Despite the bitterly cold conditions, 52 members took to the challenge. Jeremy Picton-Turbervill. who enjoyed a successful 2015 season. certainly felt at home. This was reflected in a mixture of consistent play and good fortune, especially on the greens. His 35 points score made him the deserved winner, but he was pressed hard by Steve Bartholomew, Scott Thomson and Peter Shaw, who all finished on 33 points. A point further back was former seniors captain Richard Topping. + lO-man Welly fight back to earn point FOOTBALL WELLINGTON held on for a point against Ellesmere Rangers in West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division after having Aar- on Morgan sent off. Morgan was dismissed early in the game after be- ing deemed the last man when making a challenge. Welly were already 1-0 down at that stage with Ellesmere opening the scor- ing after only two minutes. Derek Williams then changed tactics and played one up front, with Jamie Yau, Ben Fischer and Nick Williams all outstanding. In the second half, Adam Newbury controlled the midfield and Welly were the better team. Their hard worked paid off when they levelled with 20 minutes to go. Ellesmere’s goalkeeper kicked the ball short, lead- ing to Mike Olive pouncing. Wellington then had chances to win the game, with Glen Segust hitting the bar and Saul Thomas and Matt Williams also go- ing close. The result leaves Welling- ton in 12th place in the divi- sion going into this Satur- day’s trip to Dudley Sports. 006096900009 SPORT ONLINE All your sport, 24/7 herefordtimes.com/sport |
