   Kings Lynn Town Ladies and North Walsham Angels Ladies meet this Sunday in the league, weather being kind it’ll be the featured match on the Supporting Women’s Football Blog and I’ll be amazed if it ends 0-0.

Norfolk Women’s County Cup

  One outstanding tie in the Norfolk Women’s County Cup 2nd Round to be played postponed a fortnight ago, Long Stratton Ladies from Division Two were at home to Division One side and last season’s beaten finalists Aylsham FC Ladies. The visitors taking the lead Leanne Ferdani scoring the goal were pegged back to 1-1 by Long Stratton before going on to score twice to lead 3-1 the game unfortunately having to be abandoned on 85 minutes due to an injury to a Long Stratton player, Women’s Football East wishes all the best to the player involved. A result Aylsham FC Ladies will now play Briston Wanderers Ladies away from home in the quarter finals of the competition in the New Year.
