It was an entertaining opening weekend for Shropshire’s women’s football teams on Sunday, with 16 combined goals between the three games, writes Ryan Robinson.
The weekend’s highlight was AFC Telford United continuing from where they left off last season with a 5-1 victory against newly-promoted Coventrians in West Midlands League Division One North.
On the victory, manager Sean Evans said: “Fantastic win for the team. The conditions were intense with the heat, which took its toll in the second half.” Goals from Demi-Lee Rolph and Sarai Jhene McDonald got Knowle off to a perfect start, but Salop rained on their parade in the second half through efforts from Katie Doster, Kimberly Bebbington and Zoe Child.
It was an emotional day for Shifnal Town as well, as they marked their first competitive game after the passing of defender Danielle Jones with a 3-2 defeat to Burton Albion in the West Midlands Premier.
