Having returned to training following the Christmas break the previous night, both teams were keen to give all players the opportunity to tune into match sharpness ahead of the 1st weekend of 2018 fixtures.
Barnsley FC Ladies were captained by Lucy Turner, following the departure from the club of Abby Parkin. They also said goodbye to Danielle Lowe and Holly Findlay over the Christmas holiday.
The weather apps were wrong and the rain did continue through most of the match and with the wind it made play challenging. But the players played to the conditions with attacking intent. All goalkeepers were called into action and some fine saves were made.
Possession was roughly 50/50 but it was Brighouse who converted the chances made with a final score was Barnsley FC Ladies 0 - Brighouse Town Ladies 5.
Thank you to all the supporters who came on the night.
