AZURE moved off the bottom of the East Midlands Premier Division and boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation when they beat fellow strugglers Corby S & L 2-0.
AZURE moved off the bottom of the East Midlands Premier Division and boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation when they beat fellow strugglers Corby S & L 2-0.Azure scored both their goals in a wind-assisted first half.
The first came on 20 minutes when Chanade Henderson waltzed into the S & L box and crossed for former S & L forward Georgia Sturgess to place the ball into the corner of the net.
Ten minutes later a free-kick from Sarah Hudson was followed up at the far post by Jade Ovendale who casually flicked it over the oncoming S & L goalkeeper and under the crossbar.
The real star of the show for Azure though was keeper Laura Priddy, who pulled of a string of superb saves - especially in the second half.
The result lifted Azure from bottom position to ninth in the table but they face a tough game this Sunday as they take on second-placed promotion chasers Loughborough Foxes at Greenfields, Sawtry.
