Swifty Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Just checking for tannoy purposes (if I remember)... I see the ladies are playing home and away this Sunday to Tottenham Hotspur Development, with the fixtures shown as a double header at our place. Does this mean there'll be one game where the points count double (six points if a team wins, two points each if it's a draw) or will there be two games, possibly played to the minimum length allowed by the FA?

Beano Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Two games, probably 35 minutes each way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Smashing. Thanks. WIll the first game start at 2.00 as per usual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Pea Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Beano is correct, 2 matches but 30 mins per halves. Waiting on Spurs to confirm KO as we've offered them an early start...Will post once confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Pea Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Confirmed as a 2pm start on Sunday, the Spurs manager has "other committments" and doesn't want to start any earlier which is odd for a team that play their home games at 10:30 They are a quality side so we'll be doing our best to get something from the games, maybe see a few of you there.

Keith B Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 If I have read the twitter feed correctly, a very good day for the Ashford Ladies. Well done, let's hope it helps promote more interest in our younger ladies' teams and grow the Club still further in our community. More interest = More activity= More income= More growth of the Club (I hope I got that right!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimBoyFat Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Lost 2-0 then drew 1-1 which is an excellent result especially as the ladies only had a bare eleven (is that politically correct ?).to play both games, probably cost Tottenham any chance of the league with Colne Valley now 6 points clear although Tottenham still have a game in hand.

Green Pea Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks SBF, and sorry for the lack of updates on the subject. The ladies were unfortunate to lose the first match to be honest and at 0-0 at half time came out of the blocks the better side for the opening 10 minutes of the second half, however a quality shot from distance and a goal on the counter-attack as we chased the game was enough for a 2-0 Spurs win. The second match looked to be following the exact same pattern as the first with Spurs taking the lead but in the dying minutes The Ash Trees were awarded a freekick approx 30 yards from goal and Lucy Easton struck it into the top right corner beyond the keeper's reach. Credit to the 11 players who battled hard throughout while their pro-club oppostion had the luxury of freshening things up before and during each game.

Keith B Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well done Ladies, though whilst not with the original results that became confused by various reports, very respectable nonetheless. Not sure if it is allowed by FA Rules, but any chance of a Mens v. Ladies pre-season in August? No shirt swapping, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Mixed-gender adult football is prohibited under FA Rules. To my mind, men's football and women's football are essentially different games anyway. The men's game is frenetic and physical, the women's game less so. We have been supplied with some excellent photos from last Sunday, which I will upload to the website as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Right, finally got around to getting the slideshow online: http://www.ashfordtownmiddlesexfc.com/index.php/ladies-team/match-reports/677-photos-from-the-double-header-with-tottenham-hotspur-by-joanna-ginger Huge thanks to Joanna Ginger for supplying some excellent shots.
