A brace from Yvette Van Yperen gave the L2's back to back wins moving them out of the bottom 4 whilst the 1's & 3's both won against Broxbourne

Clare Stacey's ladies 2's side, moved out of the relegation places in East Div 1 North with a comprehensive victory over fellow strugglers Royston. Despite losing Nat Norford and Anna Heaton to illness late in the day, goals from Yvette Van Yperen x2, Alice Brady and Elli Priston gave them an excellent 4-0 victory.

Meanwhile at Chester Road, the ladies 1s raced into a 4-0 half time lead against Broxbourne however its was a disappointing second half display from the maroons with a number of unforced errors allowing the badgers back into the game. The final score was 5-2 with a hatrick from Kate Costin and the goals from Pippa Jones and Charlotte Holland whilst the team will be looking for an improved 70 minute showing away against Old Loughts this coming weekend. Against the same opposition the Ladies 3's got back to winning ways in the 5 counties prem. 2-0 up at half time with another goal from Joy Leeson, Broxbourne did battle back in the second half but the 3s did hold out for a birthday victory for captain Betty Ingram.

It wasn't such good news for the 4's and 5s with both teams recording losses - compounded by a fractured wrist for Tracy Lawrence so we wish her a speedy recovery meanwhile the L6's had a great away win in their friendly against Stevenage (at least 6-0)
