GMWFL Division One

 

West Didsbury & Chorlton Development kick started life in GMWFL Division One with a 5-0 win over Baguely Athletic. The goals came courtesy of Anna Carson-Parker, Ali Johnson, Lyndsey Turner, Leanne Higham and Lucie Bowden.  Baguley renamed themselves from Didsbury Reserves over the previous weeks and gave a good account of themselves despite having only trained once together.

 

In the meeting of two of the divisions new sides Bolton Wanderers Development were 4-2 winners over Ashton United; the latter of whom took part in their first ever competitive game.  Langho hosted newly promoted Tameside United and had to come from a goal down in the first half to earn a hard fought 2-1 win.

Rochdale and Sale played out a thriller in which the South Manchester side ran out 5-3 winners  at Wardle Academy.  The game was 0-0 at half time but burst into life in the second half with 8 goals split between the teams. Heyside defeated Urmston Meadowside 2-1 thanks to goals from Sarah (???) and Lauren Patterson.

Mossley were the only side not in action in Division One at the weekend as the odd team out.
