Nestlé Ladies lost 3-1 away to derby rivals Olympics in a hard-fought match.

Nestlé were down to ten players after five minutes play when captain Paula Ridge was injured and unable to return to action.

But the Nestlé ranks regrouped and put up a fantastic first half team performance with a goal from newcomer Nat Greaves only for the hosts to level before half-time.

The second half was again end to end play but after a series of short corners the Nestlé defence was finally breached and Olympics went 2-1 up.

They finally sealed the win in the last ten minutes with a flick over the grounded Nestlé 'keeper.

It was a determined Nestlé performance with excellent team work throughout. Michaela Williamson was Nestlé's player of the match.
