MATCH PREVIEW: Kings Hill vs Margate Women

By David Hansen

Margate Women head to Kings Hill this afternoon looking to build momentum after picking up three points last time out in the league.

The Blues will be aiming to replicate last season’s dominant performances against this weekend’s hosts, having recorded a pair of emphatic victories—5-0 away and 7-0 at Hartsdown Park—without conceding a goal. That impressive tally included goals from Paige Godden, Emily Hall, Rebecca Elsley, and a hat-trick from Elena Brock.

Kings Hill come into the fixture with a mixed start to their campaign. After suffering a heavy 7-2 defeat to Cray Wanderers at Flamingo Park, they bounced back with a narrow 1-0 win away at Long Lane. Heather Dixey scored the decisive goal in that victory, while Megan Kemp and Rachael McCarthy were on the scoresheet in their earlier outing.

Team News:
George Adams makes several changes to his squad following the 3-1 win over Betteshanger Welfare. Abbie Luby, Nicole Adams, and Izzy Murphy all return to the matchday squad after missing out last time. Development team standout Katie George also earns a call-up after impressing in recent weeks.

With confidence growing and key players returning, Margate will be keen to maintain their strong record against Kings Hill and continue climbing the league table.

Kick-off is at 2pm at The Kings Hill Sports Club.
