JERSEY BULLS Women return to the mainland this weekend for their second game of the Surrey Premier Division season.
Oxted & District await Chad Morris’ side, who are hunting their first win of the season.
After a challenging opening round defeat to an impressive looking Sutton United U23’s side, the new-look Bulls will be hoping to take advantage pf a fresh opponent and stamp their authority on the new season.
Horley Town FC will host the fixture, with kick-off scheduled for 2pm on Sunday.
The Bulls travel with a couple of changes to their 13-strong squad. Crucially, there is no Sam Silva-Pinto this week, as well as Poppy Benest and Chantelle Renouard.
In their place however is the return of Hannah Lynam from university, as well as regular names in Tayah Vasse and Amy Guthrie.
16-year-old academy graduate Lauren Le Garignon earns her third cap of the season and appears to be cementing herself as a regular in Morris’ first team plans.
Skipper Holly Sundby and her cohorts held Sutton to 0-0 at half time during their clash last weekend, however Morris believes they were still lacking that little bit of quality on the ball.
However, as regularly emphasised, this new-look squad continue to grow and gel and a win for them tomorrow would undoubtedly give the squad the boost it deserves.
Oxted & District have started their season with a draw and a defeat from their opening two games.
Their opening contest saw them draw 2-2 at home to Fleet Town Development, but they will have left feeling hard done by after Fleet Town’s 86th minute equaliser from Sophie Allan.
Last weekend however, they travelled to Chessington & Hook United and were soundly beaten 4-1 thanks to a Sophia Demetriou hat-trick.
The Bulls will face both Fleet Town and Chessington away from home over the next three weeks.
Jersey Bulls squad to face Oxted & District: Holly Sundby (c), Danielle Bradshaw, Roisin Flynn, Amy Guthrie, Natasha Keen, Lauren Le Garignon, Lauren Queree, Aine Ruth, Evie Smilek, Taylor Smythe, Tiffany Sundby, Sophie Thornton, Tayah Vasse
