Basingstoke Ladies IV 2 Petersfield Ladies II 3: PETERSFIELD Ladies’ second team started with a two-minute silence before their game on Armistice Day.
With only 11 players, the second team had to get their heads in the game for what promised to be a competitive mid-table match.
Petersfield started positively and scored two goals in the first half.
The first goal arrived when Eaton’s shot was deflected into the goal.
