KINGSBRIDGE & Salcombe ladies 1st team travelled to Totnes to play Dart W2 on a bright and sunny Saturday, March 14. They returned home with a well-deserved 3–0 victory after a composed and disciplined performance.

The first half was goalless but far from quiet. Kingsbridge created a steady stream of attacking opportunities, moving the ball well and winning multiple penalty corners. Despite sustained pressure, the final touch just eluded them, and the sides went into the break level.

The second half began with the breakthrough Kingsbridge had been pushing for. A powerful, accurate strike from Laura caused trouble in the D, and Lisa reacted quickest, nudging the ball over the line to give KS a deserved lead.

Momentum continued to build. The second goal came when Julia found herself perfectly placed right in front of the keeper, calmly poking the ball through her legs to double the advantage.

Kingsbridge’s third goal was the product of a beautifully worked passage of play down the right. A sequence of sharp, connected passes opened up space, and Laura finished the move with confidence to make it 3–0.

Throughout the match, Kingsbridge’s passing remained crisp and purposeful, and the defensive unit stood firm, shutting down every Dart attack and ensuring the clean sheet was never in doubt.

A strong away performance, three well-taken goals, and another step forward in KS’s season. Next up for KS W1s is Okehampton away on Sunday, March 22.
