One day later, May 16th, Congresbury’s Ladies took on Winscombe in a Wessex Ladies League fixture and it was a tight battle between the two local sides.

In Congresbury’s final game of the week the ‘B’ team took on Ashcombe ‘C’ in the County League North Two on May 18th and won by a narrow five-point margin to give their club its first victory of the week.
