Last Time We Met
We came away from Dorking with a point but felt we should have had all 3 after an excellent display.
The big decision came early in the 2nd half when Beth Humphrey scored following a corner,but the assistant referee incorrectly deemed her to be offside and within minutes we conceded a free kick which was put into the top corner. We did get a deserved equaliser from Gabby Williams and then nearly won the game as we had 3 efforts following a scramble either well saved or blocked on the line.
