Having gone a goal down early on, Newbury steadied the ship for the remainder of the first half, with goalkeeper, Laura Ainscough, particularly impressive between the posts to keep Parley at bay.

The score remained at one nil at half time and although play resumed after the interval, the Referee had no choice but to abandon the match in the 55th minute, due to the severe deterioration of both the weather and the playing surface. It would not have been safe to continue. So Newbury will need to make this South Coast trip again to replay the match.
