Boro go top
Middlesbrough got all the game’s five goals at Sheffield FC to make it back to back wins, along with Stoke Sunderland and Northern Premier newcomers Burnley. Faye McCoy claimed a treble as the Potters put six past Forest, Jessica Brown netted a crucial second for the Black Cats and Sarah Greenhalgh got the Clarets winner.
Huddersfield hit initial leaders Loughborough for six despite a late red card for Charley Evans and Derby scored as many in getting off the mark at Hull who conceded two own-goals.
Yeovil remain unbreached
Yeovil and Crawley were the league’s only top flight sides to win at home, the Glovers putting three past Chichester and keeping another clean sheet, the Wasps 4-0 victors against Hounslow.
MK Dons are a third side on maximum points from two matches, following a 2-1 success at Keynsham where they came from behind despite having a penalty saved.
Plymouth’s first points of the season came from the long trip to Gillingham, where Rebecca Dandridge and Tash Knapman netted.
Billericay only 100% South East side
Billericay are the sole side in Division 1 South East with perfect form from two fixtures, having come through 3-0 at Cambridge City.
Wolves, Leicester United and Long Eaton are the three Division 1 Midlands teams with two wins from two, Wanderers storming to an 11-2 scoreline at Burton wit the help of three by Jade Cross.
It’s a Yorkshire one-two in Division 1 North, Barnsley in pole position with a 4-2 result over Stockport, Brighouse goal-difference behind having won 2-1 at Liverpool Feds.
Exeter lead a quarter of teams on six points in Division 1 South West after sinking Poole 7-1. They’re followed by Southampton Women’s FC (for whom Emily Wernham hit a hat-trick), Southampton FC (watched by a crowd of over 200) and Cheltenham who got the only goal at Buckland.
There’s a busy midweek programme for the league from Tuesday to Thursday, details coming tomorrow….
