Ladies start season with FA Cup victory

The Ladies came through this tough contest against a hard-working Goldenhill side during extra-time when captain Ruth Graham scored a brace to take Sutton through to the next round

In the first-half Sutton hit the post twice and following a cross from the left Tiara Hemans narrowly missed the target

Goldenhill stuck to the task and displayed moments of skill and opportunity

The second-half saw much of the same with Sutton creating the better opportunities but failing to convert

Goldenhill hit the underside of the bar following a drive from distance

During extra-time Sutton's superior fitness kicked in and other opportunities were missed until Ruth Graham struck on 100 minutes and 103 minutes to close the game for Sutton

Player-of-the-match was captain Ruth Graham who was magnificent from start to finish

Manager Andy Burman said "This was a whole team effort and performance and it is good to get through to the next round. Every player did the job well and they are a credit to the club and themselves"
