HOCKEY: Chiltern IIs fall to Stevenage IIIs

Chiltern Ladies had their Five Counties Women’s League Division Two clash at Welwyn IIs postponed at the weekend, while the IIs lost 3-1 to Stevenage IIIs in their Division Three encounter.

Stevenage took the lead through an unfortunate own goal, and doubled their advantage soon after from a short corner. Chiltern battled on and grabbed a goal back through Chelsea Wright, but Stevenage added a third.

The hosts were unlucky not to score more with Vicky Spencer going close and Hilary Ward hitting the post, although some brilliant defending kept the deficit at 3-1, with star performer Kate Binns.
