The Ladies 1’s have been playing well in recent weeks, but have not been able to secure a win. This week they traveled to Southampton in high spirits searching for three points. Andover started well, linking passes effectively. Player of the match Nomes and Karen dominated in midfield linking attack to defence. Southampton did apply pressure at times, but the defence was resolute. Andover hounded the Southampton defence, with Kerrin and Sharon making forcing a number of penalty corners. Andover broke the deadlock in the first half when Karen’s strike powered into the bottom right had corner. The second half proved much of the same with captain Sammy and Gabrielle’s storming down the wings. Overall an impressive performance, with Andover putting their first points on the board. With a performance like this, I’m sure these will not be the last.
