just 5 mintues later the same player combined well with Leila Hopkins before
firing high over the bar.
As Willenhall started to dominate Abi Riley headed over a decent chance on 19
minutes & a minute later Jo Byrne saw her header held by the keeper after more
good work by Leila Hopkins & Abi Riley.
Some good play by abi Riley sae her set up Rachel Knisis who saw her shot
saved by the keeper on 25 minutes.

Boon's free-kick was missed by the Jacks defence & Abi Riley was on hand to
tap the ball home.
The visitors responded straight away with a shot which Farley save easily.

second of the game & Rachel Kinsis almost added a 3rd on 38 minutes but fired
straight at the keeper.

Jo Byrne then fired wide on 59 minutes after latching onto Leila Hopkins pass
& then Abi Riley was denied her hat-rick when she had a shot blocked on the
goal line.

cleared for a corner.
