Wilmslow Albion Women beat AFC Oldham reserves in a match on Sunday 6 October.

Albion maintained their 100 per cent start to the season under the watchful gaze of special visitor, Wilmslow Town Council mayor, Tim Higgins.

They won 3-1 against AFC Oldham reserves, who were also unbeaten going into the match,

AFC Oldham took the lead in the 1st minute after a corner by number 8 and a good shot from number 6, which beat Albion keeper Jada Worthington at her back post.

Undeterred, Albion quickly levelled the scores with an equaliser in the 11th minute and Jessica Bradshaw scored a goal with a neat finish from inside the area.

The rest of the half was relatively level, with multiple shots and corners from both teams and even saw one of the Wilmslow coaches going into the referee's book.

Despite some good pressure from Wilmslow, no more goals in the first half saw a halftime score of 1-1, with both teams feeling they'd be well placed to grab the win in the second half.

The start to the second half saw the game develop into a midfield tussle, with occasional shots and corners from both teams but no goals.

However that changed in the 76th minute, after a quick substitution from Wilmslow, Jessica Bradshaw had an amazing shot giving the keeper no chance, and scored another goal for Wilmslow, her third of the season, and giving Albion the lead 2-1.

Albion continued to press, and things didn't slow down from there as they forced a number of corners and took a number of shots before Gemma Pestell finished from close range after a mix up in the AFC Oldham defence in the 79th minute, giving Wilmslow a 3-1 lead.

After this there were a few final shots, corners and substitutions from both teams but eventually the referee's whistle blew and the game finished to deliver a spectacular result for the women's team,
