Reading travelled to Henley for a rearranged fixture determined to turn in a solid performance and defend Evans’ bet of a tenner. The Dirty 2s started strongly and were quickly on the board when Jenjer found space in the D to turn and shoot. She added to her tally shortly after when she tapped in [...]
