Bobby Lynch added a third on 61' with a free kick from some 40 yards towards the touchline, bounced once and over the keepers' head. Penn pulled two back, player took a 71' pen, hit crossbar and shot home from the rebound after a Wycombe player touched it. Second was a shot from a loose ball 10 yards out three minutes later.
Jess Watkins restored a two goal lead on 79', she met ball at the same time as the keeper, and the ball rolled in.
One more yellow for Wycombe for a bad challenge. A hard game against a spirited Penn, always a potential banana skin on a pitch which increasesly cut up. A very vocal and partisan home crowd! About 60 here again. The Penn no. 2, Megan Brockwell, was impressive wide right, constantly up and down and very tough.
Edit - special mention for Molly Scott in goal, only 16 and dealt with everything.
In the League Cup QF, the Firsts will play either Abingdon United Devs or AFC Portchester, who play next week. My mistake for thinking United had a bye. Portchester won their league cup tie today, 13-0 at home to Wimborne Town.
The Firsts' league game at home to Reading will now be played on Tuesday 18 March at 19:30, at Adams Park.

I did Jess Watkins a disservice for her goal, she got to the ball before the keeper, really well taken.
