2008/2009 Fixtures/Results 

Haywards Heath Ladies 0, Eastbourne Town Ladies 0 (aet) 5-6 pens

It took a penalty shoot-out before Eastbourne Town Ladies finally won a dramatic cup final on Sunday. 

A heroic save from goalkeeper Sarah Walshaw set it up for Chelsea Jenkinson to score the winning penalty ensuring the South East Women’s Football League Chairman’s Cup came back to Eastbourne. Town dominated the match with their best chances falling to Karema Abdalla and Emma Parslow. On the half hour mark Tasha Pearson made a good run into the area before cutting the ball back to Abdalla whose left-footed strike flew just wide of the post. 

Shortly afterwards a delightful through ball from Kelly Hunter found its way to Parslow on the edge of the six-yard box but she blazed the bouncing ball over the crossbar. 

Garry Pearce’s side had a scare just after half-time when Haywards Heath had the ball in the net. Quick passing from Rachel Virgo and Claudia Vogel played Caz Walters in on goal. Walters slipped the ball past the on-rushing keeper Walshaw before turning to see the linesman flagging for offside. 

Parslow and Lauren O’Dwyer both came close to winning it late on but a goalless extra-time meant that the tie was settled on penalties. 

Town’s Walshaw pulled off a magnificent save down to her left to deny Julie Hawthorne at 5-5, putting Eastbourne in touching distance of the trophy. Jenkinson kept her nerve and placed the ball out of reach into the top left-hand corner of the net to give Eastbourne Town Ladies a memorable cup win.

Meadow Sports 0 v Eastbourne Town 17. 

Town Ladies travelled 75 miles to Woking, on Sunday, with the knowledge that victory, and defeat for Whitehawk ladies in their encounter with Haywards Heath, would bring the league title to the Saffrons.  

However despite the overwhelming score line, the match its self was a bit of a disappointment for Town, as an under staffed Meadow Sports team were able to offer little resistance, turning the fixture into little more than training session. 

Ahead after 3 mins., the Eastbourne ladies switched ends with a 10 – 0 lead, scoring at regular intervals through out the second half, while their opponents seldom ventured into Towns’ half of the pitch. 

On completion of the match, the mood was however lifted, as news of a Whitehawk defeat filtered through, giving the Town ladies a championship to celebrate. 

Towns’ goals were scored by Emma Parslow (4), Leah Bryant (4), Tasha Pearson (3), Chelsea Jenkinson (2), Karema Abdalla, Jo Templeman, Ellie Guy and Ash Jenkinson, while P.o.M. went to Karema Abdalla, who opened the scoring with a shot from the edge of the area and set up three further goals, two of which were headed home from pin point corners
