BBHC put up a spirited display on Saturday against Cambridge Universitys young team, but still went down 2-0.
There was little to separate the teams in the first half until a collision of players resulted in Sue Moore leaving the pitch with a bloody eye, which later needed stitches.
Minutes later, BBHCs sweeper Julie Somers-Bayley was hit in the chest by a lifted, driven ball but without another substitute, she was forced to battle on bravely despite being in obvious discomfort.
And in the closing moments of the first half, BBHC went a goal down after a super shot was hit into the roof of their net by the Cambridge centre-
forward.
A controversial penalty flick, awarded to Cambridge in the second half, deflated BBHC who were unable to recover from the two-goal deficit, although they went close to scoring a consolation when a shot was deflected away by the
university keeper.
Other BBHC club results: Ladies 2nd XI 3 Gore Court 0; Ladies 3rd XI 2 Atalanta 1; Ladies 4th XI 5, Ashford 4.

THERE is lots of good news on developments in Thurrock for local people to be very positive about. Being positive in anycase is very good for community well being. We have plans apace in Grays for a new local college and a new community hospital together with the Royal Opera workshops in Purfleet. The new Gateway Academy will benefit the children of families in important areas of Thurrock like Tilbury and Chadwell St Mary. I for one am very pleased with my new local church on Chafford Hundred. I have also been very impressed with local West Thurrock councillor Andy Smith and his Labour councillor colleagues taking to proactive leadership in their ward via street surgeries. By being out there talking to everyone, councillor Smith and his colleagues are getting the views and opinions of all the people, not just the regular few worthies.
AFTER complaints by the campaigners regarding the comments mentioned in last week’s Gazette and the uproar outside the State Cinema last Saturday morning, Councillor Barry Palmer has apologised to “Save the State” campaigners.
