Saturday, 27th January 2008. Cambridgeshire Ladies' Premier Division - round 12
Huntingdon 1	2 - 3	Newmarket Ladies 1
		D Thomas B Wombwell C McDonnell

Newmarket knew there would be a tough game ahead of them when they travelled to Huntingdon and it certainly proved to be a hard fought contest.

Huntingdon fumbled in defence during the 7th minute and gave Di Thomas a gift of a free run at goal where she slotted the ball home. This helped Newmarket to believe a victory could be on the cards.

Possession was fairly even and Huntingdon continually pushed up on their attacking D which gave opportunity for Newmarket to make quick breaks but they could not capitalise any more in the first half. It was Huntingdon who scored just before the break in the 31st minute from good reactions off a rebound.

The second half saw Huntingdon come out with renewed passion and Town also sensing the danger of a loss, picked up the pace of their game. Huntingdon rallied and put pressure on the Town defence and were awarded short corners which were unsuccessful in hitting the target.

Beth Wombwell scored instinctively after good link up with Claire McDonnell. The Newmarket players were settling into unfamiliar positions and began to distribute the ball better. Beth Wombwell then returned the favour and supplied a perfect pass for McDonnell to bag a goal and clinch a Town win.
