Woodcoombe (A) - 26th November 2023

By David Hanson

For the 2nd week running Margate Women are on the road in the South-East Counties Women’s Football League as they take on Woodcoombe LFC at the Murston Recreation Ground.

This will be the 2nd time this season that the two teams have locked horns in competitive action, as Margate beat Woodcoombe 7-4 at Hartsdown Park which included three separate braces from Rebecca Niblett, Esmee Kew-Stroud and Paige Godden.

Margate come into the game with four points out of their last six available as they picked up a point against Sevenoaks Town at Hartsdown Park where after an entertaining match the score ended 4-4. Most recently Margate were on the road against London Road where in difficult conditions managed to grab a 2-1 after coming from behind thanks to a double for midfielder Harri Chapman.

The hosts have endured a difficult season so far as they find themselves in the drop zone after playing ten matches in the league but did pick up a point recently away against London Road where they came back from 3-0 down at half-time to earn themselves a well-deserved point.

Margate 7-4 Woodcoombe LFC – SECWFL - Hartsdown Park - (17/09/23)
