CHELTENHAM LADIES 1s 4 ISCA DRAGONS 1s 3

CHELTENHAM Ladies twice came back from two goals down in the Premier One fixture to beat last year's league runners-up Isca. After being 2-0 down early on, Cheltenham drew one back with a confidently-taken goal by George Jefferies. Isca then regained their two-goal advantage before a brace from forward Sophie Whittaker. Cheltenham, for whom Sian Evans was player of the match, continued to work hard and it paid off when a short corner was converted to consolidate Cheltenham's first win.

Cheltenham Ladies: R Coulston-Jenkins, D Noble, K Cook, S Evans, G Stevens, G Ashby, J Vibart, L Jaques, G Jefferies, M Walker, S Whittaker, N Williams.
