City girls shine in extra time

8:25am Wednesday 19th September 2007 in Ladies

SALISBURY City's ladies team registered a cup shock at the weekend when they knocked Woking out of the FA Women's Cup.

The Surrey side, who usually play three leagues higher than the Hampshire League-based City, looked to be heading for the second qualifying round until Taz Pittman scored a stunning Beck-ham-esque free kick in added time to force 30 minutes extra-time.

Nikki Barnes had earlier cancelled out Woking's opener.

However, Salisbury proved the stronger in the extra period - Pittman made it 3-2 before a brace by Hannah Courtney wrapped up the 5-2 victory that earned Salisbury a home tie with Havant & Waterlooville.

The match is to be played on Sunday, September 30 at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium.
