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.
U18s v Andover New Street - JPL League, 10:30am, 1878 Stadium, Wymers Wood Road, Burnham SL1 8JG
Sunday
U23s v Milton United - Southern Regional D1N, 2pm, 1878 Stadium, Wymers Wood Road, Burnham SL1 8JG
In November, the U18s won 3-2 at Andover, who sit three points below the Chairgirls, with three wins and thee defeats.
The U23s have won six of last seven games, and face a Milton side they defeated 2-0 in the reverse fixture two months ago.
The Firsts have no game, they were due to travel to AFC Portchester, who are now playing Abingdon United Devs away in the league cup, to decide who plays the Chairgirls in the next round.
That moves the Chairgirls up to third, level with Oxford United on 15 points. Both are 15 points behind leaders Ascot United, who have won all ten games.
In the League Cup, the Firsts will travel to Portchester, who beat Abingdon United Devs 4-0 today in their tie. That match will take place on 23rd February.
In the Premier, Ascot's game at Badshot was postponed. Oxford City beat Woodley 7-1 at home, to go into second place, two points above the Firsts. Sholing beat Selsey 2-1, and Reading lost 8-0 at the Flyers.
In Division One North, leaders Beaconsfield won 7-0 at Slough. Penn's game at home to Kidlington was postponed, and have only payed eight league games so far, compared to the Chairgirls' 17.
Perhaps the need to look after the pitch is a factor in the move, in this wet winter. It does not seem to be playing as well as last year, when Darren Ferguson said it was the best surface in the division. I think that has affected our play. At least it's having a good long break from games at the moment. I seem to remember we started off with two lighting rigs, I wonder if the club have invested in any more.
A reminder that any girls playing, this season, in the U14s, U15s, U16s or U17s age groups, are welcome to attend a free Talent ID training session at Burnham, on Tuesday 28th February, 5pm-7pm.

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

@peterparrotface, the fixture date has changed (I posted on 2 Feb).
"The Firsts' league game at home to Reading will now be played on Tuesday 18 March at 19:30, at Adams Park."
No further news on the promotion for that.
Ah sorry missed that - hopefully a warmer night for it anyway.
