TOWER Hill Ladies let slip a 1-0 lead as they went down to a 5-2 defeat at Chesham United Ladies in Southern Region Women’s League Northern Division 1.

The visitors got off to the perfect start when Katie Wright’s intended cross flew straight in past a stunned home keeper.

But their joy didn’t last long as Chesham levelled on the half-hour when Gemma Fraser broke through the defence before firing home.

And it got worse two minutes later, when Fraser put the hosts ahead with her second goal.
