West Bromwich Strollers 1 Redditch Utd Women 2

REDDITCH commanded the play from the off and were unlucky not to take the lead after several attempts from Mandy Ellicott, Sarah Edney and Rachel Hopkins.

A hotly-contested free kick against Redditch gave Strollers the opportunity to score against the run of play.

Midfielders Becky Ankcorn, Sam Tayler, Natalie Lawrence and Natalie Plant helped Ellicott get her reward when she beat the home keeper and head home. Rachel Hopkins scored from the spot to double the Women's advantage.

Southam Town are the visitors on Sunday (ko 2pm).
