While United were in F.A. Cup action on Sunday, two sides were looking to make their reign at the top of the South West Regional Women’s Premier League, a short one!
And Forest Green Rovers Women, who United deposed last week, succeeded, courtesy of a 5-1 home win against Bishops Lydeard. Chantelle Scott scored twice for Rovers.
Ilminster Town Ladies started the day a point behind United, and remain in fourth spot on goal difference behind United and Marine Academy Plymouth after an eventful afternoon at the Archie Gooch Pavillion. Ilminster lead 3-0 at half time, at home to Pucklechurch Sports Ladies. But Jessica Frazer scored twice after coming off the bench for Pucklechurch, as they fought back to draw 3-3.
In the other SWRWPL encounter, AFC Boco Ladies thrashed AFC St Austell Ladies, who remain pointless, by six goals to nil. Lucy Atkinson and Sasha Ferris both bagged a brace.
Elsewhere, Marine Academy Plymouth Ladies reached the F.A, Cup Second Round with a 4-0 win at Burlesdon Ladies. Sherborne Town Ladies came close to an upset, finally beaten 4-3 at Bristol Rovers Women, while Poole Town Ladies crashed out 6-0 at Plymouth Argyle Ladies.
