Ambleside Ladies Hockey 0 v 3 Wigton

JADE Jackson's hat trick saw Ambleside crash to defeat to Wigton on a cold and windy Saturday afternoon in Kendal.

Ambleside, for large periods of the first half, played well as their defence cleared away the danger from the in-form visitors while their goal tender made some good saves.

The Greens also looked promising going forward as they created half chances through Katie Sanders, Polly Holden and Lucy Dixon.

However Wigton opened the scoring just before half time after Jackson placed the ball home from close range.

Ambleside continued to battle in the second half while Wigton remained defensively solid at the back.

Despite further half chances by Holden, Sanders, Dixon and Kim Lupton, Wigton doubled their lead through another Jackson goal.

Ambleside kept going however Jackson completed her hat-trick with another good finish in the D.

Ambleside are home to Kirkby Stephen seconds this Saturday at The Cinderovens playing surface in Kendal, with the game getting underway at 12.30pm.
