Ascot United Ladies scored a goal in each half on Sunday afternoon as they
comfortably eased past local rivals Woodley United 2-0 in the Southern Region
Women’s Football League. The Yellawomen took the lead early in the first half
when Georgia Luckhurst-McCord headed home Sarah Davern’s corner from
close range. However, despite creating a number of other chances, they could
not add to their lead before half time.
The play was easy on the eye for long spells – a testament to the new coaching
regime – driving a noticeable step-change in the Ladies’ passing and movement.
In the second half it was a similar story and after Amy Woollard had struck the
crossbar with a fine cross-shot that she had engineered for herself, she would
ultimately turn provider with a fine through ball for half-time substitute Georgia
Bowers to slot in at the near left-hand post. In between those chances, the
excellent Isobel Woods’ brilliant left-wing cross should have been converted
and Woollard herself might have scored when clean through – only to take a
heavy touch and allow the ‘keeper to claim – but it was a job well done for Darrel
Evans’ side.
