Five-star Essex Essex Women opened-up the new Southern Counties Cup campaign with a 5-0 win over the Royal Air Force in the counties’ first ever meeting at Aveley FC’s Parkside stadium.

Having led at half time through Zoe Rushen’s long range effort, Essex chipped in with a dominant second-half display as Holly Turner, Kelly Weatherall, Poppy Binding and a second from Rushen sealed a 5-0 win and an early top spot in the North Group, with games against holders Middlesex and the Army to follow.

Kim Coster’s Essex side were on the front foot from the early exchanges and nearly took a fortuitous lead just three minutes in. Rushen closed down RAF goalkeeper Laura Parsons with the ball bouncing just wide of the post. Essex were soon close again when Turner got through on goal, but she pulled her shot inches wide.

The lead arrived on 38 minutes. Rushen’s lob from 25 yards proved to be inch perfect as it dropped just below the crossbar. Rushen then curled a shot into gloves of Parsons before the lead was doubled 18 minutes into the second period, Turner sprinting into the area and firing home an accurate finish.

Parsons later made a good stop to push Rushen’s 20-yard shot wide, but a great goal put Essex 3-0 ahead on 76 minutes. Rushen was again involved in the build-up, Weatherall completing the move with an excellent finish into the roof of the net.

Two chances for Rushen saw her first fire just wide before watching a shot cleared off the line by the RAF’s Sam Wylie. Essex’s fourth, on 88 minutes, arrived as Rushen’s blocked shot fell to Binding, who tucked away the rebound.

The fifth arrived late, but it was worth waiting for. A fine, chipped through ball from Lindsey Morgan picked out the run of Rushen, who lobbed home. : Alex Baker, Laken Duchar-Clark, Nicole Farmer, Abigail Fry, Evie Anderson, Courtney Lumley, Jay Blackie, Lindsey Morgan, Holly Turner, Courtney Clarke, Zoe Rushen.

Jersey boss pleased after draw Jersey women's manager Chad Morris praised his side's bravery after their 2-2 draw against the Royal Navy in Portsmouth.

Jersey led the Southern Counties Cup match early on when Louise van der Vliet stabbed home the opener from close range. Megan Wood went close with a long-range free kick before Sam Silva doubled the advantage; Libby Barnett's header was clawed out by the Navy goalkeeper and Silva was there to prod in the rebound.

Soon after half time the Navy reduced the deficit to 2-1. Wood was inches away from re-opening the two goal lead but saw her effort hit the post.

Eight minutes from time the hosts pulled level to set up a finale in which the game could have gone either way. Tiffany Sundby cleared one off the line and Amy Tierney was forced into a close range save before van der Vliet saw two late chances well saved by the Navy goalkeeper to ensure the points were shared.

"As per normal the girls played with passion, pride and bravery, as they do every time they pull on a Jersey shirt," said Morris.

"To get a draw away from home against a strong and physical Navy side, added to the fact we’ve not had a positive result against them for about four years, is testament to this new look squad of girls.

"We started off very strongly and imposed our game on them, playing out from the back, through the thirds and getting into the attacking third continuously, and it’s from those situations that our goals came."

Jersey's women will face Kent on 23rd January 2020 in their final group game.

Slough foiled by Valley Slough Town 1 Mole Valley Development 1 Slough were frustrated by the woodwork and fine defending in an exciting Thames Valley Counties Division Three East encounter with the league leaders at the start of the day Mole Valley Development at Arbour Park.

The team exchanged goals in an even first period but the hosts dominated after the break, creating a host of chances but being unable to find the winner.

The visitors, full of pace and neat interpassing, were frequently threatening on the break in the first twenty minutes but Slough were very effective themselves in attack. Leanne Gibson closes down Bethany Anderson (www.jamesprickett.co.uk).

Shannon Daly creating three early chances with strong running and clever passing.

Nicole Sandhu twice went close to giving Slough the lead with a shot and a header inches wide but it was Valley who opened the scoring on 19 minutes, Caitlin Weir firing low after a good run into the area.

Daly again set up Sandhu on 24 minutes with a header but the shot crashed against the underside of the bar and away. Mole Valley were close to a second but Brooke Pomeroy made a fine interception and the hosts levelled from a free kick, Sandhu turning the ball past keeper Amber Clipperton and Charli Davies following up to turn home the rebound from the upright on 34 minutes.

Ellie Hitchins took over in goal for Mole Valley at the break and was soon in action, producing a string of fine saves to repel the Slough attackers. Kym Stenson saw a powerful drive held at full stretch, then the keeper was bravely out to turn away a Davies shot.

Best of all, Hitchins raced off her line to foil Daly in a one on one before seeing another Sandhu shot cannon to safety off the bar on 70 minutes as Slough pressurised relentlessly.

The visitors weathered the storm and started to threaten a late winner. Bethany Anderson raced down the right and set up a chance which went just wide and home keeper Chloe Heatherington had to be quick off her line to cut out another dangerous cross.

Honours remained even to the final whistle after a contest of great endeavour and full of good play from both teams in what looks to be a very competitive league.

We talk to…..

Amanda Whalley (Bedworth United)

After not winning any of their opening five league games, Bedworth United’s season has exploded into life and Sunday’s 9-0 win over Burton Albion was their sixth on the trot and it has taken them into second place in FAWNL Division One Midlands.

We talked to Bedworth vice captain Amanda Whalley, who admitted that there is a “great atmosphere” at the club and is confident they can keep their form going and make a serious challenge for the title this season:

AW: I think our biggest win has been Doncaster Belles, to go away to such a prestigious club in women’s football and take three points is massive. The recent weather had caused the pitch to be in pretty bad condition but we still played some brilliant football, stuck to the game plan, kept a clean sheet and it was our best performance since the start of the campaign. It felt like that was our turning point.

AW: Yes, definitely, confidence is at such a high at the moment. The changing room is buzzing before games and everybody is so focused and positive. There is a great atmosphere at the club right now.

AW: A football match itself is a game of two halves and can change all the way to 90 minutes, that’s the beauty of it and the league is no different. It can always change with hard work and determination.

AW: I think we were unfortunate to pick up some injuries early on in the season but now we have a strong squad fully fit, we have worked hard in training to correct our game and have been determined to win games. Something has clicked at the club, new players are now fully bedded in we are working for each other.

AW: Oh, of course! Ultimately goals win games but scoring goals means nothing without stopping goals too. Our back line has been quality in recent weeks and the relationship between them and Chloe Quinn (our goalkeeper) is getting better and better. When you start getting clean sheets, it builds confidence and breeds that feeling of not wanting to drop that record so everyone works harder and better.

AW: Ideally playing a league game and potentially getting three points just before the Christmas break would be a great end to the year. However it is another 90 minutes in the legs for the team and another opportunity to progress for silverware.

AW: I have no doubt that we can be serious contenders for the title with the quality of footballers we have within the team, it all comes down to how we play on the day. We have to take it game by game, keep working hard and keep the momentum going.

AW: There are some tough teams in this league and there have been some surprising results so it will be interesting to see what happens after the festive break, but yes I think it will stay close and go right down to the wire.

Our thanks to Amanda!

Women’s walking football The Westmorland County FA are looking at the possibility of starting walking football sessions for Women in Westmorland in early 2020!

All sessions would be run by Westmorland County FA and would be one hour long at a location in Kendal/Milnthorpe. Each session would be priced at only £2 per player!

Walking football is an excellent way of staying fit and healthy. Studies have shown it can be effective in the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension and that it can produce high aerobic activity with marked improvements in fat oxidation and aerobic power There are also many psychological and mental health advantages to playing walking football – namely high levels of personal reward and satisfaction with reduced levels of stress and exertion while playing, despite working physically hard.

Walking football sessions also offer a great opportunity to meet like minded people!

We are looking for any women aged 40+. It doesn't matter if you have never played football in your life! Your experience or ability doesn't matter - the sessions are designed for all.

To register your interest please e-mail James.Pattison@WestmorlandFA.com with your name and location.

Kent put four past Sussex Sussex manager Karl Davy spoke of his pride after his threadbare squad suffered defeat at neighbouring Kent on Wednesday. There were six debutants and no substitutes for last year’s runners up in the second of three games for the Ladies team following a spate of eleventh our withdrawals.

The champions of two seasons ago only put the game beyond reach of a depleted Sussex in the closing minutes and eventually ran out 4-0 winners at Chatham Town FC. He said: “I am immensely proud of these girls. It was an even game for the most part, the first two goals came from little mistakes. We had six players drop out at the last moment, so it was a brilliant performance under those circumstances. Six girls got the call less than 48 hours ago to come into their first game and all of them did themselves proud.”

Kent - in their first game under newly appointed manager Richard Gurney - went ahead inside five minutes. Steph Adby latched on to an underhit back-pass and played in last term’s Player of the Year Amy Russ and she skipped round the keeper to slot the ball in.

Ellie Rivers had a shot deflected narrowly wide and Adby then went close again but Sussex soon hit back and carved out some openings of their own. Lauren Graves flashed an effort across goal and Sara Tubby tried her luck from distance but home stopper Saskia Kacary was equal to it.

Kent moved 2-0 ahead on the cusp of half time through Grace Seely, as she rose highest to meet a Megan Burrows corner and powered home a header through a posse of players. Tilly Ward, on her senior Sussex bow, had a lob cleared by defender Natasha Moloney, but Russ then extended the Kent lead further with her second and her side’s third.

To their credit, despite the three-goal deficit, Sussex continued to press forward and almost threw themselves a lifeline when Maya Beasley headed against the crossbar from Nicole Baitup’s corner.

Kent were reduced to ten players on 65 minutes when Ellie Jeffkins was given her marching orders having lashed out at Graves. The defender connected with her opposite number with a punch after Graves had won the ball in a tackle - and was sent from the field by referee Howard Collins.

Sussex keeper Chantelle Gray, on her debut, saved well from substitute Mia Lockett and then tipped wide from a Danielle Farmer header on the rebound. Gray was powerless to prevent another substitute - Emily Jacobs - from completing the scoring late on despite a hint of offside.

All matches will be of a five-a-side format. A bouncy castle and stall are also set to be on-site for the tournament itself. The address of the location is Linden Homes Club, Clee Road, Grimsby, DN32 8QL. Potential entrants only need to take inspiration from last year’s fantastic success with over 40 teams having taken part in a brilliant day of football.
