It was another successful weekend for the AFCV Ladies with an away win over Rustington Raiders to hold second place in the league with a game in hand.

The Vs got off to a flying start with two fantastic finishes from Faulkner (‘5, ‘7) to fire them into the lead, but despite holding the majority of possession and Faulkner chasing a hat-trick, Raiders took advantage of some defensive errors and levelled the scoreboard before half time.

After a strong half-time talk in the dressing room and some changes to the line-up, the pace and creativity was up again allowing Smith (‘47) and Kinlock (‘50) to double the lead within 5 minutes of kick off. Humphrey was only forced to make one save in the second half as a cohesive defence held off Raiders. The Vs proved to be a tour-de-force after Gamble (’75) netted the fifth goal of the game and Gates (’88) sealed the score line at 2-6 before the final whistle.

Very much a game of two halves, the coaches will be looking to improve on our first half performances and get us off to a strong start against Montpelier Villa AFC Women at home next week.
