Guernsey at home to Newent in second round
GUERNSEY have the reward they wanted with a home tie in the second round of the Investec Women's Trophy.
Coach David Wray said that a national knockout match at Footes Lane was exactly what his team wanted following their 4-1 win at West Wilts on Sunday, and on Monday night their wish came true as Newent were drawn to face the island team in Guernsey on Sunday 20 November.
Having reached the semi-finals of the competition at their first attempt in 2013-14, Guernsey are targeting another long run in the Trophy and they began this campaign in promising fashion in Warminster at the weekend.
Tash Symes gave the Greens the lead and Liz Dudin's reverse-stick effort made it 2-0 at half-time.
The other Symes sister, Bianca, rounded the keeper to make it three in the second half before Lizzi Stonebridge got a touch on Amy Sharpe's shot to add a fourth.
Hosts West Wilts scored from a short corner late on, but it was a mere consolation.
'We were well on top for most of the game,' said Wray.
