It was a tough weekend for our first teams but there were other good results around the club.
Salisbury Ladies 1s faced Oxford University away. Salisbury conceded a goal from open play in the first half.
The team showed great energy, both on and off the ball, with Aoife Lawrence consistently exploiting gaps in the opposition's defence, creating opportunities and putting pressure on their backline.
Alice Goodthwaite was also instrumental during this period by saving a goal on the line and Jenna Whittle provided well-timed tackles.
