Folkestone 1st XI - 4
Southend & Benfleet 1st XI - 0
Southend & Benfleet were a long way from home for their first match of the season in Women’s East League 2SE against recently relegated Folkestone. The match was fast-paced from the start and the home side scored after 10 minutes. Player of the match Kirsty Durban mounted counter-attacks down the right wing. However Folkestone scored again before half-time. Despite a change in formation S&B conceded two more goals to finish 4-0 down. Not the result they wanted but feeling buoyant after a good match.
