Valiant performance as Yachtswomen finish in third position

Valiant performance as Yachtswomen finish in third position

Richard Giles26 Apr - 18:31

The Yachtswomen finished in 3rd position in the league after a 5-2 defeat by Stevenage, a result which flattered the visitors

Stevenage took the lead against the run of play as the Yachtswomen came fast of the blocks.

Despite having the better of the play, it took until the 36th minute for Wroxham to equalise with a rasping shot by Lily Alexander and 3 minutes later they deservedly took the lead when Ella Gambell headed home a Hayley Kindred free-kick.
However, the Yachtswomen were dealt a hammer blow with the visitors equalising in the 5th minutes of added time to send the sides in 2-2 at the break.

A goal just 7 minutes into the second half saw Stevenage take the lead despite being well offside and the league champions added a further 2 goals as the Yachtswomen pushed forward.

This leaves 2 cup finals on the 3rd and 10th May to wind up the season.
