Wolves Boosted By Foxes Defeat
In Midlands Division 1, Radcliffe Olympic did promotion hopefuls Wolves a massive favour by defeating leaders Loughborough Foxes 3-1.
Three down by half-time, Loughborough only replied through an Emma Pilling effort in the last dozen minutes.
Wanderers are just a point off the top with a game in hand but with a far inferior goal-difference.
Nine In A Row For Brighouse
Brighouse Town cemented a top-half finish in their first season in Northern Division 1, by winning 4-2 at Leeds to record a ninth straight victory.
Demi Pringle took just seconds to open the scoring but the hosts replied before half-time through Veatriki Sarri.
Danni Brown restored the lead early in the second half, only for Leeds to level again with Arianne Parnham this time on target.
But Brown doubled her tally for the night and Jodie Redgrave sealed the points, making it 4-2 with 5 minutes left.
Saints Push Shanklin Nearer Drop
Shanklin slipped nearer relegation following a 7-0 home loss to Southampton Saints in South West Division 1.
With a goal-difference far worse than tenth-placed Basingstoke Town, Shanklin face having to take at least ten points from their last four games in order to finish above the bottom two.
