Bretforton Ladies 1, Lydney 4.

BRETFORTON were unable to keep their winning form going when they lost away to Lydney.

Bretforton struggled to find their feet during the first-half and chances to gain possession and create chances to score were limited.

Lydney played their usual quick- flowing hockey and had numerous chances to score of their own but went narrowly wide on a number of occassions.

Player-of-the-match, goalkeeper Vic Watkins, and her trusty defence of Jane Wheeler, Sarah Cook, Liz Murray-White and Kate Mitchell battled through the continuous onslaught from Lydney but were finally broken when a well-worked short corner routine saw the ball fly into the net.

Bretforton tried to gain some possession of the ball but a quick second goal from Lydney on the break saw the half end 2-0.

In the second-half, the Lydney keeper was called upon to make a number of saves from open play with Becky Mawby, Sarah Hall and Deb Slatter linking well up- front.

But it was Lydney’s day and they scored a third midway through the second period. The hosts responded with Lisa Workman scoring from a short corner soon after but it was too little too late as Lydney put the game beyond Bretforton with a fourth.
