Leaders inflict home defeat on City

City Women’s 1st Team lost 2-0 to league leaders Gloucester City at Twerton Park this afternoon. The Tigers came into the game boasting a 100% record in the league but were pushed all the way by the Romans. Gloucester had gone close on several occasions before taking the lead in the 37th minute, Scheafer tapping home after Sadie Farley had parried an initial shot. The second half saw an Abby Gray header cleared off the line and Adella Clarke denied by keeper Lineto. Gloucester secured the points with eleven minutes left when Davis raced clear to coolly slot the ball past Farley.

The Development side also suffered a defeat this afternoon, going down 3-0 to Wellington Wildcats.
