Combination Leagues round-up

Women's Football News 9 Apr 2010

Northern Combination
Rochdale took a step closer towards landing the league title as they won 3-1 away to Liverpool Feds. After going behind midway through the first half, Chantelle Parry struck to level the scores ahead of the break and Dale sealed the points with second half strikes from Steph Bell and Susie Wells.

Middlesbrough's title hopes may have been dealt a fatal blow when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Stockport County. Rachel Hine was on target for 'Boro, with Stockport replying through Nikki Daniels.

South Durham Royals kept up their challenge with a 4-1 victory over Scunthorpe Utd. Kerry Denham, Jade White, Emma Foster and Tracey Swailes all netted a goal apiece for the Royals who trail Rochdale by sixteen points but still have five matches in hand.

Wakefield picked up another valuable point in their bid for survival in a 1-1 draw against Tranmere Rovers, Vicky Burton grabbing the all-important goal for the Yorkshire side.

Midland Combination
One match was played in the league on Sunday, Stoke City battling out a 2-2 draw with fourth placed Rotherham Utd. A double from Kate Asher had put Stoke into a two-goal lead but Rotherham hit back to earn themselves a share of the spoils with goals from Rachel Rutherford and Zuzana Pramukova.

South East Combination
Gillingham require six points from their last five games in order to secure the title despite being held to a 2-2 draw by Northampton Town. The Gills twice took the lead with goals from Ashlee Hincks and Natalie Crinean but Northampton fought back on each occasion and earned themselves a share of the spoils through Elizabeth Clarke and an own goal.

It was not a good week for Norwich City who are now the only team left with a chance to deprive Gillingham of winning the league. In midweek they fought out a 1-1 draw with second placed Enfield Town and this was followed up on Sunday by a 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur. Jenna Schillaci was on target twice for Spurs, with Sam Pittuck adding the other goal.

South West Combination
Only one match was played on Sunday and it produced a very one-sided match as Chesham Utd moved level on points with leaders Havant & Waterlooville. Chesham trounced struggling Reading Town 25-0 and their goal difference is now just one less than that of the Hawks.
