Williamson’s chip secures Boro victory
With both teams unbeaten in their opening fixtures this was going to be a cagey game, and so it proved.
Attleborough Town Ladies 2, Long Stratton Ladies 1
The visitors had the best of the first half, and took the lead in the 32nd minute when Charlotte Head broke through to beat the advancing keeper.
The opening of the second half was end to end and it was Boro who were looking the stronger.
They drew level on 67 minutes when Emma Skinner ran through to score from a tight angle. The next 25 minutes were not for the faint hearted as both teams went looking for the winner.

Long Stratton pressed forward to get an equaliser, but Boro managed to keep them out. This was an excellent game and credit to the girls of both sides.
