WINSCOMBE LADIES 2 MINEHEAD LADIES 6

MINEHEAD have finished champions of Division Two (Wessex) in the West of England Hockey League - without losing a game.

Minehead travelled to Winscombe for their last match of the season. Both sides showed grit and determination, playing through sun, wind, rain and two hail showers.

Minehead took their chances, two goals from Morgan and one from Denise in the first half gave the visitors a slim 1-3 lead at half time. Keeper Jan kept the Winscombe attacks out with some excellent saves.

The second half saw both teams start to flag at the end of a long season and play stretched out. Long balls up and down the pitch saw Winscombe gain a second goal, while Minehead continued to work hard across the pitch. Lauren took advantage of a fallen player to grab her first goal of the game, Izzy netted the ball after a long run up the wing and Denise trickled the ball over the line for her second of the game.
