The ladies had a much improved weekend result wise writes Jax Batten..

The 3’s got the weekend off to a flier with an away game at Henley.  With their goalkeeper late to arrive, P&R took full advantage with 2 early goals by Hev Clements against a kicking back.  The 3’s piled on the pressure and even when Henley had chances to break ,the defence of Amelia Perry, Danni Sweeney, Kat Hohenauer and Lynne Newell were able to easily snuff out any sign of danger.  [Read more →]

Jax reports on a disappointing week for the Ladies….

The Ladies teams all had a tough weekend on Saturday with horrific weather to contend with alongside a drop in form for the Ladies sides.

First up the 3’s took on Abingdon at Rivermead; in heavy winds both teams battled evenly in the first half with Izzy Wise getting P&R ahead from open play just before half time. [Read more →]

Jax Batten reports on a tough week for the Ladies sides………..

None of the Ladies teams registered points this weekend (07/11) with the closest match being fought out at Beaconsfield between the 2’s and Gerrards Cross.  Despite probably 60% (or more) of the possession in the first half, the 2’s found themselves 3 down at half time, with the Cross keeper having hardly a shot to save other than from short corners.  [Read more →]

18/10 - Jax Batten reports………..

The Ladies 2’s got their first points of the season with a vital 3-0 win over Wokingham at Cantley on Saturday.  After 4 losses, the team formation was adjusted to shore up areas of concern and the strategy seemed to work wonders despite having to sacrifice a striker to play an extra defender in the back line.  The team definitely looked very positive from the start and within the first 15 minutes had gone 1-0 up with Tracy Averies striking from a short corner - the ball was deflected over the backboard but was judged to have been on target before the deflection and was allowed to stand.

Jax Batten reports…..The Ladies 1’s got their first well deserved point on Saturday in the 11.30 game against Slough.  Slough drew first blood against the run of play after P&R had started very positively with Lucia Payne making her season debut up front.  But the ladies were not downheartened and got a goal back - Rooney driving down the right, and sending the ball inside to Lucia who drilled the ball across goal for Maddie Cottam to get her season (and career!) second!

Jax Batten reports….

The Ladies 3’s continue their great start to the season with a 3-0 victory over Banbury at Bradfield College on Saturday.  Heather Clements scored the first goal after a goalmouth scramble and then Jan Karim got P&Rs second; in off the post after a short corner to see them 2-0 up at half time.  Izzy Wise got the third with a straight strike from the top of the D.  P&R camped in Banbury’s half for the rest of the second half but couldn’t find any further goals with the Banbury GK in fine form and P&R trying to overcomplicate their attacks! The 3’s remain in 2nd place in their division and have made a great start with so many new players in the side. [Read more →]

Jax Batten writes…….Thanks to a walkover P&R Ladies 3’s are joint top of the league! Bicester were unable to get a team together at the last minute gifting the 3’s a 3-0 win and sparing them the journey to Oxford.  The 2’s did make the trip north to St Gregory’s School but found a very good side waiting for them in City Of Oxford.  Chick was again in goal for the 2’s after her stellar performance last weekend and yet again she was kept busy as COO committed players forward in numbers exposing a lack of pace in the P&R side.   [Read more →]

Jax Batten writes…….

The Ladies sides all started League action on Saturday 19th September and the 3’s got off to a flying start with a 3-2 victory over Maidenhead 4’s.  P&R started brightly with lots of new juniors taking part in their first adult league games and were 3-0 up by halftime with goals coming from Chick and Heather Clements (2).  Maidenhead fought back in the second half as the home side’s legs tired but despite 2 goals P&R held on to take 3 points.
