London Bees have advanced into the third round of this years Adobe Women’s FA Cup after victory over fell league side Chatham Town at the Bees Stadium.
The visitors started with a spring in their step and they took the lead after just five minutes when Lottie Sharp pounced onto a rebounding effort to slot the ball past Tia Ginn.
As the Bees have shown many times this season, there is goals in this side so it came to nobody’s surprise when Campbell placed the ball past the Chatham keeper to level the game up after just 12 minutes.
A quiet quarter of an hour period fell silent when Woodgate grabbed Chatham’s second of the afternoon to set up another thrilling game.
The Bees were looking like they were heading into half time with work to do but Tambula put those nerves to bed when she scored a goal with seconds before the half time whistle was about to blow. Her first goal for the club.
The pressure which the Bees were mounting at the end of the first half carried over into the second as a shot from the hosts was well pushed behind from the Chatham keeper.
Ginn was called into action shortly after when she got down well to deny the visitors from a shot from the edge of the box.
On the 60th minute mark Hoteit had the ball in the back of the net for the London Bees who had taken the lead for the first time in the afternoon.
