: Women's Southern Regional Premier Division
:
: Sunday 24th February 2008
:
: Oxford City Ladies (3) 6 (Carnell pen 7,
: Totton 16, 29, Mobbs 71, 73, 90)
:
: Riverside Strikers (0) 1
:
: City turned in a convincing performance to
: maintain their unbeaten league record. City
: started the game in third place, three
: points behind top-of-the-table Riverside
: with four games in hand.
:
: City took the game to their opponents from
: the kick-off and were soon a goal up. A
: fierce Rachel Catling shot hit the bar and
: Michelle Robinson was fouled as she
: attempted to turn in the rebound. Lauren
: Carnell coolly dispatched the penalty into
: the bottom corner. Katie Totton doubled the
: lead in the 16th minute, bundling home the
: rebound from close range after a Steph Mobbs
: cross had been deflected by a defender and
: tipped on to the bar by the keeper.
:
: Totton, who put in an excellent,
: hard-working performance up front in the
: absence of top scorer Deanne Tomkins, hit an
: unstoppable free-kick into the top corner
: from 25 yards to send City in three up at
: half-time, after 45 minutes which they had
: dominated throughout.
:
: Riverside tried to reduce the arrears after
: the break but their long-range shots gave a
: City defence marshalled by Carol Harwood
: little trouble. City seemed content to let
: Riverside have possession but still looked
: dangerous on the break, and went further
: ahead in the 71st minute. An excellent long
: pass from Carnell found Louise Craig, whose
: cross was deftly sidefooted home from 12
: yards out by Mobbs.
:
: Two minutes later Mobbs added her second
: after excellent interplay with Hannah Smye.
: Riverside pulled a goal back in the 79th
: minute when a right-wing cross was forced
: home from close range, but Mobbs completed
: the scoring, and her hat-trick, with a great
: run and shot.
:
: This was an excellent performance by City
: who were well worth their win and move up to
: second in the table as a result, only one
: point behind the new leaders Shanklin, with
: 4 games in hand.
:
: Team: Hannah Cox – Lauren Carnell (capt),
: Carol Harwood, Heidi Hiscock – Louise Craig,
: Claire Bates, Rachel Catling (sub Rachel
: Millard 72 min), Michelle Robinson, Hannah
: Smye – Steph Mobbs, Katie Totton.
