14:03 Game Underway
5’ Csomor breaks with direct intent as Barnsley counter attack, plays Shaw in who’s shot is blocked, corner for Barnsley
6’ A great corner from Pierrepont, but the diving heads from Barnsley towards the ball all fail to make a connection as the ball bobbles beyond and out of play
8’ Pierrepont with a ball in for Michalska to chase, Michalska uses the bounce of the ball to hit over the on rushing goalkeeper, but the volleyed lob edged just wide of the goal
11’ Pierrepont plays Shaw in who’s running beyond the defence, she fires into the bottom corner but the officials judge it as offside
14’ threatening counter-attack from Barnsley where the whole of the midfield and forward line combine in an exchange of passes, but fail to make an attempt on goal
15’ Shaw strikes from the edge of the box, rattling the underside of the bar, but the goalkeeper’s back ever so closely, misses the ball as it returns back into play, and Alnwick recover
21’ Alnwick get in behind the Reds’ defence for the first time, Clarke rushes 20 yards off her line and makes an outstanding claim, to control, and clear as Barnsley push up the pitch
26’ Michalska fires the ball goalwards from 15 yards, but the shot is blocked by an Alnwick defender, Barnsley erupt into calls for handball, but the referee waves any claims away
30’ Barnsley free kick, Michalska steps upto the ball, and strikes over the wall but the goalkeeper steps across and makes the save
32’ Play paused as Ashton’s injury is assessed
40’ Michalska manages a shot following a Barnsley corner, but it goes wide, goal kick for Alnwick
42’ long range effort from Michalska, struck with enough power to trouble the goalkeeper, but she takes it into her clutches
44’ Great corner from Pierrepont towards the far post, Michalska wins the header but too tough an angle to aim the header at goal

Plenty of chances for Barnsley but no goals to show for their efforts at Half Time

15:03 Second Half underway
46’ GOAL! Csomor with a goal from a couple of yards out after the goalkeeper parries a Nat Shaw attempt on goal 1-0

70' SUB: Shaw is brought off for Ryalls
73’ Incredible turn from Csomor on the last defender, to free her 1v1 vs the goalkeeper, but the officials rule her to have been offside
75’ SUB: Assist provider for the second goal, Emily Pierrepont, is brought off for Rebekah Coe
78’ Csomor with great work down the right, helps win a corner, but it unfortunately amounts to nothing
90’ GOAL! Corner taken wide right, into Csomor’s feet who crosses in towards Michalska, who heads home for her second of the game
