Newark Town Ladies bounced back in style with an impressive 3-0 win at home to Calverton Miners Welfare Ladies on Sunday. After an opening day defeat, Newark responded to post a first Nottinghamshire Girls and Ladies League Seniors Division 1 victory of the season. The breakthrough came in the first half when Connie Forman was brought down in the box and the referee pointed to the penalty spot.
Captain Hollie Green stepped up with a cool and composed finish. The lead was doubled in identical fashion on the hour mark, Forman again upended in the area and Green again tucking away the resulting penalty. Calverton played much of the second half with 10 players and Newark duly added a third goal when a fantastic through ball from Jess Parker set up Forman to score.
Newark interim keeper Georgia Porter impressed at the other end to keep a clean sheet. It’s Women’s FA Cup second qualifying round action this Sunday as Newark make the trip to Anstey Nomads Women..
