Saturday's win to extend Colwall's lead at the top of Severn division one.

COLWALL WHC 3, CIRENCESTER 0

The teams held a minute's silence before the match in honour of Betty Curtis, the former Colwall player, and the team wore black arm bands for the duration of the match.

Cirencester started well and almost caught Colwall napping with two early chances, saved by goalkeeper Carole Ward.

Colwall soon settled into their stride but despite lots of possession, were unable to open the scoring.

The deadlock was broken from a Lucy Halligan short corner, Nicky Glover slipping the ball to Coral Handley, who drove it home. Colwall's second goal from also came from a short corner, Handley's shot deflected in by Halligan.

Colwall consolidated their lead in the second-half. Handley's lob was saved by the keeper but Glover got the rebound. Cirencester had several chances towards the end but Colwall defended well.

Tomorrow (Saturday), Col-wall are away to Stroud.
