Wallsend hit back after a heavy defeat

WALLSEND BCL suffered a 15-0 defeat last midweek against title favourites Norton and Stockton Ancients, who went top on goal difference.

Six goals were claimed by Vicki Burton and five by Nyci Thorns for Norton, Kate McSorley, Sian Williams, Aimee Stabler and Shannon Reed also on target.

With their 100% record still intact, the Teesside club moved level on points with Durham Cestria – but with two games still in hand.

On Sunday Wallsend welcomed Wakefield and bounced back in style with a 10-0 victory.

Despite conceding 30 goals in two games, Wallsend played with confidence – Brittany Davison hitting a hat-trick.

Samantha Deverdics was on target twice, Hannah Gosnold, Michaela McHugh, Emily Tate, Tanya McGowan and Catherine Shields also on the scoresheet.

Hartlepool United prevailed 3-0 against York City, the side playing at Victoria Park for the first time in its history.

In front of a decent crowd, counters by Jade Pye, Caitlin Bates and Faye Garside earned all three points.

Tynedale complete their season with a trip to Durham Cestria while Wallsend BCL travel to York City on Sunday.
