Guernsey FC Women go down to AFC Stoneham defeat

Guernsey FC Women's poor run of form continued as they lost 3-1 at AFC Stoneham in Southern Region Women's Football League Division One South.

The Green Lionesses' seventh loss in nine league games leaves them eighth in the table.

Ruby Smith had given Guernsey a great start when she got her fourth goal in as many games to put the slanders 1-0 up after 15 minutes.

But the hosts, who moved up to third with their victory, levelled through Praise Petrache 13 minutes from half time.

Stoneham upped the pressure after the interval and made the breakthrough midway through the second half through Aimee Gritt before Megan Newton secured the three points for Stoneham with 13 minutes to go.
