Chichester Ladies 2s 0 Lewes 2s 4

Sussex Ladies Premier Div

This was probably Chichester’s worst game of the season so far... it was as if they had never played together. Lewes came with a mixture of young blood and experience.

Chichester, albeit with experience themselves, could have done with a few extra youngsters to bring the average age down.

Lewes scored two either side of half-time. The game was spoilt a little by some disappointing officiating but this didn’t seem to hinder the visitors, who were deserved winners.

Chichester travel to Mid Sussex next and with only three games left of the season, can probably expect to finish second from bottom – unless bottom side Worthing can win their last three games.

Chichester: Abson, Austin, Parrott, Stemp, Baxter, Trent, Hurd, Jessop, Oliver-Catt, Hauxwell, Hallier, Woods, Mundy.

Petersfield 0 Chichester Friars 9

Wessex Masters League

Second place in the league was secured with a fantastic away performance.
