Ascot United Women celebrate a goal

Darrel Evans’ side have set things in motion for the 2022/23 season with three games played, two league and one cup, registering two wins and one loss. A convincing start to the Southern Region Women’s Football League campaign alongside an early exit from the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup in the First Round Qualifying. The Yellawomen have picked up six from six having done the double on Abingdon with wins against both United, league favourites, and Town. Here’s your rundown of who was awarded ‘Player of the Match’ in each game ahead of the ‘Player of the Month’ voting.

Abingdon United – Southern Region Women’s Football League

Sarah Killick-Bird – The defender put in a storming performance in a tightly-contested game against the league favourites to keep the Yellas in the game whilst under discernible pressure from United.

Dom Carrington – A tricky First Round tie with opponents from the Tier above but Dom showed real flashes of brilliance down the right wing and was unlucky not to be rewarded with a goal.
