Weekend Loan Round-Up

Doncaster Rovers Belles Precious Hamilton was target for Derby County in their 3-1 away victory at Rochdale Ladies.

A Sarah Jones own goal put Derby ahead late on and the lead was doubled on the hour by Hamilton. Jo Traynor pulled a goal back for Dale but Derby made the game safe when Sam Griffiths netted the third in injury time.

Wolves stung Midland Combination leaders Stoke City 4-0 with a Becky Hall brace to remain unbeaten thus far this season. Jamillah Palmer scored early on with a curling shot in off the post and although Stoke responded well, Hall doubled Wolves’ advantage before the break. Just 5 minutes into the second period Hall scored again direct from a free-kick and 2 minutes later the game was over as Dani Selmes volleyed home after Palmer's run into the box.

Katie Anderton is back fit for Blackburn Rovers and helped them keep their title hopes alive by beating local rivals Preston North End 2-1 in their derby game. First half goals from Anderton and Danielle Sheen gave Rovers the points, despite Alison Taberner grabbing a consolation for Preston late on.

Millie Bright was up front for Leeds United as they stepped up their National Division title challenge with a 3-0 victory over Charlton Athletic. With Sunderland not in action, Leeds were handed the opportunity to replace them at the top of the table and they got off to a flying start, Clare Sykes and Leah Galton putting them two ahead inside the opening six minutes. Galton wrapped up the win with her second goal, three minutes from time, to ensure that Leeds open up a lead of three points.
