Huddersfield Dragons Ladies lost another place in North League Division II South East, but produced a battling performance to earn a 1–1 at Kingston–upon-Hull.

There was a great start to the game for the Dragons as they dominated the first half and took the lead when a long ball from Rebecca Durrans found Hester Longstaff, who drove into the ‘D’ and reverse swept the ball into the goal.

The second half became physical and Dragons had to fight for the ball.

Hull managed to get a goal back due a lapse of concentration by the Dragons.

There was some good link-up play and attacking runs were made by player-of-the-match Mollie Holmes, and the Dragons had some short corners and a one-on-one opportunity but could not find the winning goal.

Dragons: Creedon, Durrans, K Pryde-Fillingham, L Pryde-Fillingham, Parker, Graham, Bacon, Jessop, Holmes, Dunne, Longstaff Subs: Bower, Turner

Dragons Ladies seconds produced A vastly improved performance but were still beaten 4-0 by Ben Rhydding Ladies thirds – player-of-the-match went to Abi Morroll.

Dragons Ladies thirds were in strong form as they notched a 4-2 victory over Airedale Ladies seconds.

All four Dragons goals were scored in the first half with Alex Moorhouse on target and Amelia Sierant bagged a hat trick.

Sierant was joint player-of-the-match with Helen Bower, who played a leading role from the back.

The second half was more difficult as a lack substitutes left the Dragons tiring, but they held on after conceding two goals, and Alex Wagstaff, who is usually a keeper, played outfield and did a great job out of her comfort zone.
