WEST CLUBS' WOMEN'S HOCKEY LEAGUE

SOUTH DIVISION

Mannamead 0 Caradon 3

A CLARE Poad double saw Caradon continue their run of form up to the festive period.

A slight change was required in their defensive line-up, with Marcia Burgess making her November debut.

After a nervous start, the visitors put in an impressive performance after building attacks from the back. They were finally rewarded by an open-play strike by Poad.

The play continued to flow as Caradon took command of the game with some clean passing, and they were rewarded in the second half as Beth Harris flicked the ball home from a Poad short-corner strike.

The away side didn't sit back and took the game to Manamead, whose players' heads were dropping as they enjoyed less of the ball.
