The first-team made it four wins out of four on Tuesday night with a hard-fought win over Chesham in Amersham. The Hoops now sit at the top of the table as they set the pace at this early stage of the season, maintaining their 100% winning record.

Cherrelle Albert scored a wonderful goal midway through the first-half to secure the points. After picking up the ball and playing a quick one-two she smashed the ball into the top corner which had “goal” written all over it as soon as it left her boot.

The Rs played well in the opening 45 minutes and had several great chances to extend their lead. Carla Williams had a header deflected just wide after a cracking move and cross and Camilla Ray hit the post from a corner just before half-time.

In the second period and having played two games in three days (after beating Yeovil 2:1 away on Sunday) the team began to tire, but they put in a real gritty performance to hang onto their lead, including going down to 10 players after an injury to Camilla to secure the win.

Team: Jess, Ceryl Guard, Simone Dwyer (Capt), Mel Bidewell, Caroline Barker, Camilla Ray (Hannah Curnow), Danielle Richards (Maurine Gray), Suze Wylie, Susannah Abbott, Carla Williams and Cherrelle Albert

Subs: Maurine Gray and Hannah Curnow
