It's five alive for Exeter City Women

It's five alive for Exeter City Women

Jenna Markham made an early assist

Exeter City Women maintained their position at the top of the National League division with a comfortable victory over Maidenhead United in front of 2,660 at St James Park.

Both teams began with attacking intentions, Abbi Bond, captaining the side on her one hundredth appearance, had to be quick to make the clearance as United looked for a chance on goal before Sophie Gillies and Mollie Taylor both failed to connect with a dangerous Jess Sandland corner. 

The Grecians opened the scoring with a route one set up, Sandland’s ball from defence was flicked on by Jenna Markham and Sarah Stacey raced clear to slot past the on rushing Rosie Wilmott-Joyce for the lead. 

To their credit, United had not come to be spectators, looking to play from deep areas and committing players in attack to stem the tide of City attacks.
The Grecians not only have to win games but win them well and Sunday’s game affirmed both of those targets. With a large crowd gathering for post-match autographs this was an afternoon to enjoy for the team, a five-star performance and goals to entertain the large St James Park crowd.
Visits to Portishead Town and Selsey await in a busy week of league action, with AFC Bournemouth winning again, the fight for the title is hotting up.
