Colney Heath Ladies suffered a 6-4 defeat at Hemel Hempstead Town Ladies in the County Cup.

A strong start from Colney Heath ladies led to an early goal in the third minute with a header from Milton.

A break from Hemel after half an hour caused a muddle in Colney’s box leading to their first goal.

A free-kick from Hemel then enabled them to take a 2-1 lead in the tie.

The hosts extended their lead in the second half but Colney responded when Randles volleyed the ball into the net.

Another Hemel free-kick enabled them to make the score 4-2 and they quickly added a couple more to seal the win.

But Sheridan and May struck for Colney to round off the scoring from an entertaining cup tie.
