WHITE’S GOAL IN VAIN AS RIVALS TAKE THEIR CHANCE TO MOVE UP

ASHFORD LADIES:

Hayley Smith, skipper Becky Hover and Jodie Tanton – with her first of the season – scored the other goals.

They take on second-placed New Beccehamian on Saturday.

Linda Charlton scored twice for the 3rds who won 4-3 at Deal, to move three points clear at the top of Kent Division 2.

Sally Bulgin had a solid game in defence, while goalkeeper Sara Andrews earned her side maximum points with a fine save.
