Hockey: Long and poor of it for York ladies

10:26am Tuesday 24th January 2012 in Hockey

HOME discomfort rocked City of York Ladies first XI who were downed 2-0 by visiting Longridge in the North League first division.

Longridge capitalised on a passing mistake to break upfield and score.

That shook York up and crisper passing conjured a flurry of chances, though none were taken.

And, on the counter. Longridge always threatened – York ’keeper Dawn Hopkins saving a penalty flick.

Her Longridge opposite number was exercised more after the break, but despite the eager search for a leveller the hosts succumbed to a second goal from the visitors.
