Notts County Ladies remain top of the FA Women's Super League table after a 0-0 draw against current champions Liverpool. The Lady Pies were on top for most of the game in terms of possession and chances and, were it for a little more incisiveness in front of goal, could have found themselves two or three goals to the good. Chances were at a premium in the opening stages with the game largely dominated by skirmishes in midfield, although Jess Clarke produc

Notts County's first ever game in the FA Women's Super League finished 1-1, as over 1500 fans at Meadow Lane saw the Lady Pies take on Arsenal, one of the most decorated women's teams ever, and secure a draw and a point after taking them all the way. The game went through the motions in the opening stages, but in the 10th minute, Jess Clarke was able to weave her way through the Arsenal defence before firing just wide. Clarke would continue to cause havoc in the G

It had to come to an end at some point. After Notts County Ladies’ excellent start to the season, a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Everton sees the Lady Pies fall at the FA Cup semi-final stage and record their first loss of the new campaign.

The visitors took the lead in

The first goal came after just three minutes, as the Lady Pies brok

Notts County are set to launch a new senior women's team, just over a year after the previous incarnation, Notts County Ladies, was folded.

The Lady Pies had been moved from Lincoln to Nottingham and got to the FA Cup Women's Final in 2015, but Hardy stressed that "the numbers simply (did) not stack up
