2.15 : The game kicks off, albeit a bit late due to a previous game on the 3G pitch over-running. Should've been a 2.00pm start.
2.19 : Teversal take the lead with a goal from Libby Richardson. The ball over the defence bounces high and Libby scoops it over the advancing keeper and despite a clearance attempt from a defender it ends up bouncing high into the roof of the net. 0-1.
2.23 : Persistence from Abbey-Jay Roberts results in a second goal for Teversal. After being put through by Kate Pawlitta, Abbey-Jay Roberts takes a shot, the keeper saves with her foot, the follow up hits the crossbar, the next hits the post and finally her fourth attempt finally ends up in the goal. 0-2.
2.24 : Newark get themselves a goal back, catching Teversal cold from their celebrations a minute earlier. 1-2.
2.44 : The scores are level as a defender is robbed and the goal put under pressure, one attempt is saved by Stacey Padley in the Teversal goal but the follow up hits the net. 2-2.
3.00 : Abbey-Jay Roberts finds the back of the net following a free kick by Kate Pawlitta, it's headed down by Holly Cox and a little dance by AJ finds the gap in the defence and it's a 3-2 advantage to the visitors.
Half time : Newark Town Ladies 2-3 Teversal FC Ladies.
3.11 : The second half is underway. No subs from Teversal as yet.
3.32 : An evil bounce on the 3G surface sees Newark through and an excellent save by Stacey Padley see the danger pass.
Moments later at the other end Abbey-Jay Roberts is just wide of the mark.
3.34 : This time Abbey-Jay Roberts finds the net with a shot from the edge of the area high into the goal. Hat trick - 2-4.
3.35 : Newark are not out of this as they find the back of the net again. 3-4.
3:46 : Libby Richardson gets her second of the game running through the middle from Stacey Padley's long ball and slotting the ball past the Newark keeper. 3-5.
3.48 : The Newark keeper tips the ball over the bar from a Kate Pawlitta free kick from 25 yards out. So close but what a save!
3.49 : Sub - 21 for 15. Gemma Plumb replaces Bernie Piper.
3.54 : Sub - 22 for 9. A clash on the edge of the area and the player is carried from the pitch for treatment on her knee. Hat trick hero Abbey-Jay Roberts comes off to be replaced for the final minutes by Morgan Whale.
Full time : Newark Town Ladies 3-5 Teversal FC Ladies .
Another great display and another result ending with five goals for the Ladies, it's also five wins out of five and top spot in the league table for the side.
