It's Matchday. Notts Women face Peterborough at Coronation Park Eastwood at 2pm today.

It will be a tough match because Peterborough bare one of the four very strong teams in this league & they will be looking for promotion this season.

However, Notts have improved since last season with some excellent performances home & away.

 

The Notts team has been selected????

Peterborough take the lead.

 

Notts lose by an odd goal in seven, but they can be so proud of their performance today, especially in the first half against a top side.

Notts were ahead until the 80th minute and gave Peterborough a right scare.

 

I feel for them, to lead and then to allow the game to shift the opposite direction. I thought Peterborough had a good team, but hoped ours would be able to see it out. At 3-2, I feared Peterborough had grown into the game.

@Chris after Notts had taken a 3:0 lead, Peterborough scored almost immediately near to half time. They were always gone to come out all guns blazing & got the early second half goal.

Notts did well to hold them until the 80th minute then conceded a disputed penalty, that allowed the Posh to equalise.

The team will learn from this, but it does show how far they have come from last season.

Latest League table. Peterborough are top. Notts in fifth place.

Still plenty to be played for, and seeing the team finish as high as possible is only a good thing in terms of seeing their growth. Improvements this season have been very good, so I am encouraged by that.

 I must pop and see the ladies one day.

Last word from the Manager, Adam Dunleavy.
