On Wednesday. Combined counties women’s cup action took centre stage. Ascot United making the journey to QPR Women’s, boasting thee former Rs in their starting line-up. Kick off delayed due to severe traffic in the local area.
Starting this evening’s affair. Ascot United opened proceedings with the first chance. Working their way forward, they found space for a cross. Not testing their opposite numbers. As it went out of the area. Cleared by a host defender. Taking the lead, Qpr women opened scoring with Milly cutler, finishing from close range. Against Rs legend Lucie white. Now the number one for the visitors. Earning a corner, the travelling team cut out a chance. Caught by Mya Francis Powell in the home net. Doubling the tally for the day. Melanie Hall hit home.
Getting the second half underway. It was the visitors who were first to venture forward. Getting deep in the host half, they heaped on pressure. Picking up a throw for their efforts. Up the other end. Nicole Leys let fly on a flung attempt at goal from just outside the box. Shortly followed by another chance. Coming out of play, lumped away by the fullback. With her keeper screaming for a pass. Increasing the total to three. Milly Cutler scored an incredible curl, cutting into the corner, past the out stretched shot stopper. From an awkward angle. Back and forth actions occurred as time ran its course. Before a bundle in the box added another, for the R’s. Laura Hennessey having the final touch. Failure to be dealt with by the guest back line led to the goal. On the final kick of the game, QPR Women continued their fine run of screamers. Nicole Leys slapping in a free kick from distance. What a hit.
