It was a good day for three ladies' teams as they all won in the Eastern Region Women's Football League.

St Albans City had the biggest success, winning 6-1 at home to Needham Market in the Premier Division.

There were six different scorers too as Elsbeth Cunningham, Chloe Timms and Scarlett Robb scored in the first half with Terri Harvey, Francesca Grazioli and Kiera Ward adding to them after the break.

That leaves Saints third in the table, nine points behind leaders Royston Town.

Colney Heath and Harpenden Town are still top of their tables after picking up wins.

The Magpies lead the way in the Division One South, now five clear of Southend United but having played a game more.

That follows a 2-1 win at Stanway Pegasus where Holly Rossington and an own goal gave them the three points.

Harpenden Town meanwhile hold an eight-point lead over AFC Dunstable in Division One North, again having played one more game.

Their latest victory was 2-1 away to Thetford Town.

They dominated the first half with Leah Shellard, Kacee Warren and Becca Dowdall all going close and Sophia Amanor hitting the post.

The only goal though belonged to Amanor after three minutes as she latched onto a poor back-pass and went round the keeper.

Harpenden were forced to play Chloe Dinsey in goal and the midfielder pulled off a good save in the first half and at the beginning of the second.

She was beaten though by a curling shot from Olivia Dunne that bounced off the post and in.

Amanor had hit the woodwork again before the equaliser, cutting in from the right but firing off the underside of the crossbar and watching it bounce out.

But they hit back quickly after the home goal and with 10 minutes remaining, they were back in front.

A foul on Amanor gave Belle Shannon a sight of goal and she made no mistake, sending her free-kick arrowing over the head of Keilegh Dixon and into the back of the net.
