Saturday, 24th February 2007. Cambridgeshire Ladies' League Div 1 - round 13
Newmarket Ladies 1	4 - 0	Sawtry 1
Thomas Cockerill Fison Hooley

Newmarket took on Sawtry to defend their position at the top of the Cambridgeshire Ladies Division 1 league.

The game started with a good opening passage of passing from Town and Di Thomas reversed the ball into the bottom corner to put them into the lead after 2 minutes.

Both teams were passing well but quite often did not manage to find their forwards.
Tracy Cockerill was next to convert a chance for Newmarket - she was fast to react to the defending keeper's soft clearance and bundled the ball over the line.

The second half Sawtry came out fighting and tried to play a 'passing game.' Newmarket cottoned on to this and made the early tackles. The midfield of Lydia Fison, Isabel Hooley and Sarah Haird remained strong. 21 minutes went by and Lydia Fison scored her 4th of the season by opening out the defence and smashing the ball past the keeper.

The umpires had to confer on a few decisions and Beth Wombwell was shocked to be given a green card for an unintentional error.

Di Thomas was taken down in the D and was awarded a penalty flick. She did not connect properly with the ball and sent it straight to the keepers pads.

Not deterred Newmarket scored another; Isabel Hooley finding the target with the aid of a deflection for the 3rd time in her hockey career.

Town finished the game in high spirits and with one game left to play in the league, it is entirely in their own hands whether they take the honours or not.
