Plymouth Argyle's 2-0 victory over Hounslow Women was therefore a relative
goal feast, and the result takes them out of the bottom four for the first time this season.
Jemma Rose put Argyle in front midway through the first half and Natasha Knapman sealed
the points with the second, just ahead of the hour mark.
Division One North
Whist leaders Liverpool Feds were on League Cup duty, Newcastle Utd took the chance
to narrow the gap on them to two points with a 6-2 win against third placed Leeds Utd.
Kacie Elson led the scoring for Newcastle with a hat-trick and there were further goals from
Katie Barker, Rebecca Ferguson and Georgina Spraggon whilst Leeds' replies came from
Olivia Smart and Sarah Danby.

reply away to FC United of Manchester. Jordan Atkinson scored a hat-trick for the
Wildcats, whose other goals came from Jennifer Knowles and Jessica Mett.
Barnsley produced a fine result when beating Chorley 2-1 - only the second time
that the Magpies have been beaten in the league this season. Jodie Michalska netted both
goals to earn Barnsley their fourth win of the season, after Ellie Cleary had scored for
Chorley.
Bradford City meanwhile continued their climb away from danger with a 5-1
victory against Alnwick Town. City marked their first match at their new Horsfall

Charlotte Stuart, Sophie Hawkins and Hope Knight.
Division One Midlands
Boldmere St Michaels scored seven times without reply against Bedworth Utd to

other as second placed Doncaster Rovers Belles ran out 5-1 winners over Leafield

the fightback was completed in injury time, when Toni McHamilton netted the equaliser.

over Wem Town. Leah Sievwright was on target twice for Moors along with Zoe Creaney
and Abby Jackson.
