SEATON LADIES TAKE

ON EXETER CITY 2nds

With many games cancelled due to the weather Seaton were surprised to find their game on but found the pitch in great condition.

Seaton started sloppy with a lack of concentration, resulting in conceding two goals in quick succession.

Unfortunately Seaton's centre-back suffered an injury which saw her out for the rest of the game. With only two subs players were forced to reposition, leaving Seaton vulnerable against as quick and well organised opponents.

Seaton's goalkeeper made several fantastic saves but Exeter continued to pile on the pressure and the Seasiders' Ladies went into the second half 5-0 down.

However after much perseverance Lara Spiers managed to pull back two goals. But Exeter had more goals in them, resulting in the game ending at 9-2, a disappointing scoreline for Seaton.

SEATON TAKE ON AXMINSTER LADIES

IN MIDWEEK DERBY UNDER LIGHTS

Leaving the weekend game behind them, Seaton Town had a lot to prove against local rivals Axminster Town.

Knowing the game was going to be well-matched, Seaton started strong and well organised playing some good link-up up football. Despite dominating the first section of play Axminster managed to capitalise on sloppy play from Seaton to open up a 1-0 lead.

Determined to level the playing field, Seaton hit back when centre-forward Lara Spiers equalised but after some end-to-end football Axminster managed to nick the ball from Seaton's defence to make it 2-1 just before half time.

After the break Seaton worked hard to get back in the game and it was winger Meg Griffiths who put the ball in the back of the net to level the scores at 2-2.

But Axminster had no intention of lying down and regained the lead again. Seaton won a corner on the right with Meg Griffiths heading it home to bring the score to 3-3.

Both teams dug deep, playing box-to-box, but neither were able to grab the winner, the score finishing on 3-3.

SEATON WELCOME CULLOMPTON

IN RECSHEDULED FIXTURE

After playing midweek Seaton knew this fixture was going to be tough, with tired legs from three games in a week.

Both teams fielded strong line-ups and had several subs available. Seaton started slow but managed to build up play resulting in an opening goal from winger Meg Griffiths.

Cullompton were determined to get something from the game despite conceding an earlier goal. Seaton lost the ball in the middle of the park allowing Cullompton to equalise after some good work down the right.

A goal from Georgie Lamprill restored Seaton's lead, ending the first half on 2-1.

Seaton dominated the second half, adding another three goals from Lamprill, Lara Spiers and Griffiths to secure three points from the 5-1 victory.

After a week's break, Seaton Ladies a back in action at home to Plainmoor on Sunday (October 25th), kick-off at 2pm.
