A STRIKE from Jo Symington served up Huddersfield Town Ladies winner as they beat Guiseley away 1-0.

Playing into a severe swirling wind in the first half Town struggled to get past the half way line on many occasions.

Guiseley created a number of chances but Town’s central defensive pairing of Becky Shaw and Caitlin Walsh, together with keeper Laura Carter kept them at bay.

In the second half Town started to dominate and, while clear cut chances were few, the pressure started to build.

On 65 minutes a corner from Kate Mallin was struck against the bar by Jo Symington, and five minutes later from the same position the same combination ended with Symington slotting the ball home on the volley.

Town created further chances and in the end won a well deserved match in extreme conditions.

Symington was voted Town’s player of the match.

The first team’s next game is on Sunday, April 5 away to Whitley Bay Women FC (2pm).
