CHELMSFORD Ladies Hockey Club’s first team fought hard and dominated much of their exciting Investec EHL Conference East 1-1 draw against St Albans 1st XI.
And while a point is welcomed, it could so easily have been all three points to the Essex side.
St Albans pressed forward and took the lead after 20 minutes from a short corner.
St Albans attempted to increase their lead but Chelmsford resisted and made repeated attacks on their opponents goal.
But they still had to wait until late in the game for the equaliser which came after St Albans were slow to clear in their D and youngster Bryony Pipe took the initiative and swept the ball home, her first goal at national league level.
Chelmsford’s next match is on Saturday at East Grinstead with pushback at 1.30pm.
