Wolves fail to build on back-to-back wins, West Brom ease through in cup

Wolves were unable to build on back-to-back home wins when they hit the road in Women’s Super League 2 on Sunday.

Despite Amber Hughes opening the scoring in the 18th minute, hosts Ipswich Town hit back through Princess Ademiluyi’s equaliser eight minutes before half-time.

Tractor Girls captain Maria Boswell then bagged a brace - one either side of the interval - to turn the match in the home side’s favour and lift them above Wolves into third in the WSL2 table.

Villa and Birmingham City are still waiting for their first victory after four matches of the WSL season.

Villa were handily beaten by Tottenham Hotspur’s second-half blitz, with all goals of their 4-0 defeat coming after the break.

Suzu Amano grabbed Blues a point with an 87th-minute equaliser in their 3-3 draw at home to Crystal Palace.

Oceane Hurtre had netted twice inside the opening 33 minutes - with a leveller for Palace’s Shanade Hopcroft sandwiched between.

But Bethany England and Lexi Lloyd-Smith turned the game in Palace’s favour after the interval until Amano’s late intervention.

Albion continued their Women’s National League Cup campaign with two wins in a week - following up a 3-1 triumph over Birmingham City Under-21s in midweek by beating Sporting Khalsa 2-0 on Sunday.

Goals from Jess Collyer and Monique Robinson secured them top spot in Group N, meaning they progress to the knockout stages.

Elsewhere in the competition, Kidderminster Harriers lost 5-1 at home to Cheltenham Town and Lye Town overcame Birmingham City Under-21s 3-0.

Khalsa and Harriers await to see if they progress to the knockout stages among the 10 best runners-up.

Hednesford Town are top of the West Midlands League Premier Division after a 5-0 triumph at Shrewsbury Town.

Janelle Straker hit a hat-trick, with Elisha Davis and Mill Rogers also on target.

Walsall beat Newcastle Town 5-2 in West Midlands One North thanks to goals from Mia Fellows (two), Olivia Corns, Phoebe Smith and Madeleine Weall.

Karen Harrigan-Clough, Chloe East-Goodman and Isla Evans netted in Chasetown’s 3-1 win at Burton Albion.

In Division One South, leaders Halesowen Town made it four wins from four with a 4-3 triumph over Redditch United.

Imogen Butler, Ellie McGovern, Niamh Murphy and Bethney Taylor were all on target.
