Chichester ladies have no need to suffer in Suffolk

Ipswich 3 Chichester Ladies 4

Chichester found their form on a long journey to one of the league favourites.

Ipswich were relegated from the National South league last season and are out for promotion.

Off the back of two defeats Chichester needed something special to win this one - and that came in the form of four goals from Abbey Shrubb.

Ipswich dominated the early exchanges and could have gone in front while Chichester struggled to string anything together.

Ipswich continued to press and went one up before Shrubb found her form and smashed in two quick goals before half-time.

Chichester took control in the second half, mainly through woman of the match Madden controlling the middle of the park.
