Cambridgeshire – Sunday 5th February

Cambridgeshire Women’s Premiership

There were six matches played across 4 competitions in Cambridgeshire on Sunday in the Women’s football leagues. Left this Round-Up till last because I feared the worst and it is with sadness I have to report another team folding this season, promoted as Championship North Champions just this past summer, Bourne Ladies have pulled out of the Premiership having played just a handful of fixtures struggled to fulfil others were due to play this weekend but it was called off a real shame some talented players in their side I hope most if not all will continue in the game do run a number of youth sides and hopefully these will continue in the future and the club with remain in some form.

That sees an adjustment to the Premiership table the wins sides gained from Bourne chalked off, as a result Bar Hill Ladies move into 2nd place in the table after they edged out Cambridge University Women away from home in a 9 goal thriller. A brace each for Amanda Wainwright and Kate Ross for Cambridge University wasn’t enough to take anything from the match as Bar Hill ran out 5-4 winners.
