Acklam strike earns crucial win for Lymm
LYMM Hockey Club women’s firsts picked up another vital three points against Whitley Bay and Tynemouth’s seconds on Saturday.
Early pressure paid off for the hosts as a goalmouth scramble was turned home by Hollie Acklam and, despite coming under attack late on, it was enough to secure a 1-0 victory over North Hockey Women’s League Division One's bottom side.
Goalkeeper Amy Heywood was named player of the game after a superb performancebetween the posts.
The win was Lymm’s second in a row as they sit 10th in the table ahead of a tough trip to Alderley Edge’s firsts on Saturday.
