South East Counties Womens Football League - Div 1 [W]
Haywards Heath 5 [Jo Ashworth, Michelle Winnard, Penny Gittins, Mica Saunders, Cath Diffey] Milford & Witley 0 - 9th Sept 2007
Heath started their league programme with an emphatic win over Milford and Witley. As last week, Heath were very quick to get their passing game together and created chances for Mica Saunders, Mel Bramley and Jo Ashworth who all went close. In the 12th minute, Heath went ahead when a shot from Saunders was parried and Ashworth, Heath's player of the match, was the first to react to score the opener. Heath continued to apply strong pressure and after some further narrow misses, Michelle Winnard got on the end of a through ball from Saunders and finished well. Soon after, from a lay off from Bramley, Caz Walters hit a 30 yard shot which clipped the woodwork. Heath were now well on top and after 40 minutes from a good corner from Winnard, Penny Gittins was on hand to force the ball home.
The second half continued in the same vein with Heath creating further chances.
From a flowing move on 63 minutes, Saunders hit an excellent shot for Heath's fourth and midfielder Cath Diffey headed in number five direct from Saunders's corner eight minutes from time. The defence were resolute with Eve Todhunter outstanding.
Heath's early season form has been excellent and they are looking forward to their FA Cup game against Sheerness on Sunday.
