Marconi Ladies 3

Studley Women 2

STUDLEY Women boss Steve Tayler had to recruit four players from the reserve team for their trip to the East Midlands.

Emma Allsop, Sarah Bird and Helen and Kerry Boyle were all called up but it was Marconi who broke the deadlock in the first half after some static defending.

Studley battled hard and a Caroline Staples corner was buried by Rachel Hopkins to level the scores but the home side made sure they would take a half time lead.

Marconi went further ahead with a powerful shot, but Studley pressurised and a cross from Bird met the head of Staples who flicked on to Kerry Boyle to score.
