L3 v Havant 3a A 16 Jan 2016

Havant Ladies 3a XI 2 Andover Ladies 3rd XI 2

With the bare eleven players Andover travelled to 7th placed Havant. They started strongly and were unlucky to have Ali Thomson's fine shot from a short corner disallowed. Havant settled and opened the scoring from a short corner. The latter part of the first half saw Andover start to string their passes together and put the Havant defence under pressure. Andover were unfortunate to concede a second at the far post but did not allow it to affect their determination and Alice Goodridge, Sarah Rose and Sophia Kidd made some excellent passes frequently beating the opposition. A stick tackle on Ann Collins just outside the D saw Andover awarded a short comer and Karlie Buckley slotted home Collins' shot on the post. Five minutes later Andover won another short when Havant failed to retreat five and a jubilant Buckley equalised by slapping in Collins' strike on the near post. The Andover defence of Tiffany Fish and Karman Norman soaked up the last ditch attempt by Havant. This was a fine performance by the Andover side to come back again and earn a well deserved draw.
