Newhaven 3-1 Montpelier Villa
The Trafalgar Ground’s new artificial surface ensured that Newhaven v Montpelier Villa – a battle of seventh against eighth – beat the rain that saw most other games in the area called off. First-half goals from Charlotte Markham, Lucy Collinson, and Chloe Evans made it a comfortable afternoon for the home side despite a late consolation from Tara Barrett.
