Sunday afternoon found Chinnor Ladies play host to New London Lionesses, at the Community Stadium. Lionesses started proactively and were relentless in their attack, as Chinnor played into the wind & 'up hill'. Lionesses didn't have it all their own way, with Chinnor stringing a number of attacks, but for the majority of the game, were on the back foot. Changes were made to protect the damage, but it was an eye opening experience for Chinnor on where the team and club could be, with the correct direction. Chinnor looked better in the second half, however failed to defend effectively against Lionesses' 22.
Chinnor Manager, Gemma Clark, remarked 'we were beaten by a team who were fast, athletic and technically better than us. It makes us all more hungry and determined to make it a success at Chinnor. The 12-0 defeat is disappointing, but the ladies came off the pitch smiling and loved the experience. We have Woodstock in the league next Sunday, we're all looking forward to that.'
