RAF Ladies win 2022 Inter Services title

The RAF Ladies football team have won the 2022 Inter Services title.

They beat the Army 2-0 in Aldershot thanks to Philippa Wilson's early strike and Bethen Jewett's stunning goal.

The victory, coupled with a win over the Navy last week, means the RAF are crowned champions.

They made the perfect start as they took the lead after just 10 minutes.

Philippa Wilson's run across the box was perfect to meet a cross from the left and head home her second goal of the competition after her stunning strike against the Navy.

The RAF could have extended their lead in the first half but the Army goalkeeper did well to keep out both Zara McIntosh and Rachel Griffiths.

At the other end, Air Force shot-stopper Hannah Hale was also called into action as she kept out a longe-range strike from Chrissie Wright as well as a low shot from Kelly Davis.

The second half saw the RAF take control of the match.

Cat Beaver rocketed a shot over from 10 yards out before Dewitt sealed the title with a stunning goal from 30 yards.
