10th May 2009

On the 10th of May 2009, Dorset ladies came to the Aquadome for a nail biting friendly.

A quick first goal from Dorset set the tone for the first quarter of the match –   Basingstoke looked defeated facing a succession of Dorset goals.  Dorset were awarded a soft penalty when Basingstoke’s goalie Cat changed the rhythm of the game with a vital save.
