Football: Women's round-up

Redditch VC 1 Burlish Olympic 5

REDDITCH VC lost their first home game of this season on Sunday although the final score flattered their opponents.

VC dominated the early exchanges but failed to take their chances.

Tara Cook was unlucky when she charged down a clearance by the keeper and saw the effort go narrowly wide while Kate Saint had a chance at the far post which produced a good save.

Against the run of play Burlish took the lead when Redditch keeper Nicole Metje pushed out a corner to the edge of the box only to see it fired back past her.

Shortly after, a mistake by Metje allowed Burlish to add a second and although VC continued to play the better football, the visitors added a well-taken third just before half-time.

Claire Compton hit the underside of the bar for Redditch before Burlish broke to bag their third.

VC finally netted when Kate Saint turned the ball home but Burlish added a fifth with a fine chip in the closing seconds.
