Combination Leagues round up

Women's Football News 10 Oct 2008

Northern Combination
With Leeds City Vixens not playing, a win would have seen Stockport County take over the leadership but instead they went down to a 2-1 defeat away to Scunthorpe Utd. Natasha Cook and Donna Smithson netted the goals to give Scunthorpe their first victory of the campaign.

Bradford City could also have gone level on points with the leaders but they also suffered a defeat, being beaten 2-1 by West Auckland Town who also recorded their first victory of the season. Kerry Denham settled matters in West Auckland's favour on the day by netting both her team's goals.

Salford Sports consolidated their position in the top half of the table, thanks to a 3-2 victory at Morley Spurs with goals from Charlotte O'Connor, Chloe Llewellyn and Chelsea Scholes.

Midland Combination
The withdrawal of Alfreton Town meant that Coventry Copsewood lost the leadership during the week but they are back on top of the table following their 5-0 victory against TNS Ladies on Sunday.

West Bromwich Albion lifted themselves into the top half, thanks to a 4-2 success away to Loughborough Students. Hayley Phillipowsky was on target twice for Albion, along with Channelle Hooper and Jemma Connor-Iommi.

Radcliffe Olympic and Leafield Athletic both remain just below mid-table after the sides battled out a 2-2 draw. Leafield raced into a two-goal lead in the first half thanks to Kate Fellows and Leigh Dugmore but after the break, Emma Clarke and Sarah Green both netted to earn Radcliffe a share of the spoils.

South East Combination
Only one match managed to survive the weather in the league on Sunday, at Enfield Town where the home side moved into third place with a 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

A well taken goal by Holly Wilson proved to be the difference on the day and leaves Enfield five points behind joint leaders Luton Town and Welwyn Garden City, with a game in hand.

South West Combination
In a reduced fixture programme due to the weather, the top two teams in the South West Combination both recorded victories to pull further away from the chasing pack.

Queen's Park Rangers' perfect start continued as they ran out 3-0 winners over Swindon Town. Suzanna Wylie, Mel Bidewell and Maureen Gray scored the goals to ensure that Rangers preserved their lead of five points.

Forest Green Rovers meanwhile produced an impressive display when scoring eight without reply against Reading Royals. Helen Wood, Charlotte King, Phil Helliwell and Angie McQuillan all bagged doubles for the Gloucestershire side.

AFC Bournemouth meanwhile gained a morale boosting 2-1 win over Weston St Johns, a result which lifts them into a mid-table position. Kirsty Bell and Michelle Keehan were on target for the Cherries, with the Somerset side replying through the prolific Laura Bray.
