 CHELMSFORD CITY 0 LITTLE THURROCK DYNAMOS 5

at Marconi Leisure on, kick-off 1.00 pm.

  It was always going to be a struggle against high-flying LTD, and with City missing five key players it actually turned out to be 'Mission Impossible'. The hosts didn't even have the luxury of a substitute but still put up a gallant display before eventually succumbing to the visitors' supremacy.

  The early exchanges were fairly even until LTD struck on eleven minutes and then doubled their lead moments before half-time. Despite the best efforts of 'Girl of the Match' Rosanna Critchell who was absolutely superb throughout, ably assisted by fellow defender Jade Harrington and goalkeeper Christie Lucking, two goals in the space of a minute midway into the second period put the result beyond doubt. A string of brilliant saves by Lucking and top-notch defending by Critchell kept the scoreline down until the fifth goal which arrived with literally the last kick of the match.

 Chelmsford City: Christie Lucking, Leanne Miles, Jade Harrington, Rosanna Critchell, Hollie Austin, Emily Kendle, Karina Fox, Olivia Robinson, Sophie Dorrington.

 Referee: Jonathan Smith (Wickford).

 City Player of the Match: Rosanna Critchell
