Read @_joshchapman98’s Reds report from another fantastic result for the Reds in the @FAWNL

Barnsley are now up to 9th but only 3 points behind 3rd with games in hand still. Next up is a trip to play Norton & Stockton Ancients Ladies up on Teeside, they are one place below Barnsley FC Ladies 2 points behind. N&S were NERWFL champions last year and already have a couple of good wins in the FAWNL WLDWL, so will be a tricky game to navigate.

This game is closely followed by Tuesday night game back at Oakwell in the re arranged game against Leeds Utd Ladies.
