Stroud Ladies had the stuffing kicked out of
them this weekend, both physically and mentally.
Hanham, who thoroughly deserved their win, went
ahead in the first half with a goal from a penalty corner.
Stroud should have equalised but the Hanham
keeper played well to save all their efforts.
The visitors, however, did equalise in the second
half with a goal from the well-placed Pauline Edgington.
Unfortunately Hanham restored their advantage
after a Stroud defensive error and kept ahead until the final whistle.
This was an incredibly disappointing League
start for Stroud but the only way from this result must be forward if the
team's hopes of promotion this year are to be realised.
Woman of the Match : No-one this week as all the Stroud team disappointed !
