PRESTEIGNE opened their South Powys Badgers League season with a 3-2 win over Kington in Llandrindod Wells last week.

The English side twice led only for Presteigne to hit back with Meg Cosgrove completing her brace after good work by Mia Davies.

Erin Hardwick, Anna Scott and Emma Jones shone at the heart of the Presteigne defence to keep Kington at bay for the remainder of the half.

Cosgrove turned provider after the break with her shot spilled into the path of Davies to net and give Presteigne the lead for the first time.

Presteigne Ladies Hockey Club has expressed thanks to the Royal Oak in Presteigne for sponsoring their new junior team Shirts and for donating the junior and senior Player of the Year shields to the Club.

Daisy Tyler and Charlotte Jones were the recipients of the awards at the club’s end of season dinner.
