Women Win PSF In Style

Margate FC Women travelled to newly promoted Woodcoombe on Sunday afternoon as they continued their pre-season schedule. 

After a two-week gap in fixtures, both teams were eager to get back on the pitch.

The Blues wasted no time in asserting their dominance, as they netted the first two goals within three minutes of the match. The visitors displayed their attacking prowess and quickly took control of the game. With their relentless pressure, Margate managed to extend their lead to 5-0 by half-time.

However, the second half was not without its challenges. In the 59th minute, Woodcoombe's goalkeeper clashed with a player while making a save, resulting in a split lip. The injury caused a ten-minute stoppage in play and ultimately led to the goalkeeper being substituted.

Margate continued to play with high intensity and maintained their dominance throughout the match. Woodcoombe struggled to find a way past Margate's solid defence, and the visitors managed to keep a clean sheet.

In the closing minutes of the game, Margate's goalkeeper suffered an injury, leaving the team with no choice but to field an outfield player as a makeshift goalkeeper.

The final score saw Margate head home with a convincing 8-0 win. The team showcased their attacking strength and demonstrated their ability to convert chances into goals.

Margate Women will now turn their attention to their next pre-season friendly, where they will face Betteshanger at Hartsdown Park next Sunday.
