Match Report

FC United were in the Last Chance Saloon as they travelled down the M62 to meet Liverpool Feds in the last game of their first season in the FA Women’s National League Division 1 North. After a disastrous start which saw the Reds trailing 0-2 after 11 minutes, FC gave it their best but ultimately were no match for the hosts who, by virtue of this result, are crowned league champions.

The Reds, who now look set to rejoin the North West Women’s Regional League, will look to regroup and bid to win back their place in the FAWNL at the earliest opportunity.

In the meantime,  everybody involved with FC United will surely recognise that league titles at any level don’t come without a lot of hard work over a season in addition to ability. On that basis, sincere congratulations have to go to Liverpool Feds.

Full report to follow.
