Starkey and Uziello fire Luton Ladies to victory

The IIIs had a 3-3 draw at home to Shefford and Sandy IIIs in Division Eight SW.

Cameron Sarrington opened the scoring early on, before Shefford equalised, as it needed another goal from Sarrington to restore Luton’s lead at the break.

Shefford grew into 
the game in the second period and managed to pull level, 
before going ahead in the 
third quarter.

It took two missed penalty strokes and several penetrating attacks before Steven Pierce finally found the net to rescue a point for Town late on.

Luton’s men’s first team were awarded a 5-0 win over Southgate Adelaide in Division Three SW, while the ladies IIs had a walkover victory against Leighton Buzzard IVs in Division Five.
