Saints travel up to Blackburn today and need to keep winning if they want promotion.
Weird that there is no coverage of this game.

I like it when the games are at proper grounds (Ewood Park today) and not some other pitch.
Come on our R&W Gals!

My sons match got called off today, so we are heading to the match. I'll try and post updates.
I'm not sure whether I like the woman's matches being in big grounds. I like the idea of the equality with the men's teams, but the grounds feel, and are, pretty much empty. I also like to go somewhere different, so I would be happy to go to a local lower league or semi pro ground.

Maybe you need to do the match report as I'll only be following on the Sky Sports Score app. |

Not a great start. A pass in midfield wasn't controlled and Meg Horbury (?) ran on to the lose balling the centre circle . She then left the saints defence in her wake, got to the top of the box and slotted the ball in to the keepers left. 1 nil to Rovers

All action here, but all at the wrong end. Great ball out to the Blackburn right, the winger shot off, then cut inside before curling a shot over Rendall and into the far top corner. Cracking goal, wrong end though. Saints 2 down inside 15 minutes.
Other than the goals, we have had the only shot on target and it feels pretty even.

It's Russball here. Saints are having most of the ball, knocking it around nicely in the space between the halfway line and the Blackburn box, but not really creating anything. Blackburn are pressing and look threatening when they win the ball.

We've got one back. Lovely ball over the top (impressive as the Blackburn centre backs are huge), Molly Pike ran onto the pass and put the ball in to the bottom corner from about the penalty spot.

Almost a carbon copy of our goal, only this time Molly put it a yard wide of the post.

Shocking start to the half, but we are coming back into the game. No idea what the final score will be.

Not much goal action this half. We've glanced a header well wide and hit a tame long range shot into the keeper.
We are still knocking the ball around, trying to avoid Blackburns's press. Neither side looks to have the ability to play the killer ball this half.

Still pushing for a goal. Their keeper just pulled of a great save low to her right.

Not a good day to drop points. Sunderland and Palace both won, and we couldn’t take advantage of Charlton losing to two very late goals.
Birmingham are now above us, as we slip to 4th.

Lost 2 - 1. Threw it away in the first 15 minutes and couldn't pull it back.
