RESULTS

Middlesbrough’s FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division trip to the Black Country was a fruitless one as they return to Teesside unable to add to their points tally. Wolves’ Beth Merrick scored two in two minutes to put the hosts ahead inside the first ten minutes of the game. Middlesbrough actually created the first chance of the game and after Merrick’s two goals the game slowed down although Boro had a chance to pull a goal back just before half time. Even though Boro played better in the second half, they just couldn’t find the back of the net and the points went to the hosts.

Despite Bianca Owens’s seventh goal of the season in the fourth minute of Norton & Stockton Ancients’ FA Women’s National League Division 1 North game at home against Chorley, the hosts ended up losing.
