Women's football round-up: Wrockwardine second best in top of table clash

The visitors started well and flew into a three-goal lead.
Wood fought back and pulled a goal back through Natasha Dunning with an excellent finish.
Kinghurst finished strongly and netted two late goals on their way to three points.

Hannah Brown's double strike proved to no avail as The New Saints Reserves suffered a controversial 4-3 loss to Staffordshire Women's League Division One leaders Kidsgrove Athletic.
The Saints took the lead after 14 minutes when Brown scored her first goal of the season, before adding a second when tapping home the rebound after Maddie Jones' shot was saved.
Kidsgrove got back into the game just before half-time. Jones then fired home to give the Saints a two-goal cushion before Kidsgrove struck again.
The visitors then levelled despite the linesman's flag being raised for an offside. The decision would prove the turning point of the game with Kidsgrove snatching the winning goal with minutes remaining.
Saints reserves must pick themselves up at Leek CSOB on Sunday.
