In what was our first home match in the division this term, Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw’s goal on the cusp of half-time was enough to secure three points at the Joie Stadium.
An evenly contested first half sparked into life close to the break when Player of the Match Ayaka Yamashita denied Fran Kirby from close range before Gareth Taylor’s side sparked a clinical counter-attack.

This allowed Kerstin Casparij to receive the ball on the left before her pinpoint cross was poked into the net by Bunny from close range.
There was then more good news following the interval when Jill Roord made her return to action after eight months after sustaining an ACL injury in January.
