Chiltern managed to release the pressure with some good work down the left wing by Fiona Delivett and Mandy Blackmore, which saw the latter go close.

After the break, Chiltern created a number of chances, including one that was cleared off the line via a post from Vicky Spencer, as Holly Steward named top player.

In Division Five, Chiltern IIIs were beaten 5-2 by Bedford Vs. From the opening whistle, Chiltern went on the offensive with Bethany Carlisle, Carly Grimmer and Vicky Spencer pushing forward.
