2011 English National League and Cup

Leicester eventually cruised to a 5-1 victory after Faye Nash had pegged back Hannah Macleod's opening goal. A Crista Cullen PC strike restored the lead by half time. In the second half Leicester moved up a gear and Kerry Williams and Hannah Macleod had put the game out of Bowdon's reach before Anne Panter finished things off with the fifth. Leicester will play Reading in next week's final.

Leicester ended this game as a contest within 11 minutes as Crista Cullen came back with 2 PC's in the eighth and 11th minutes. Lucy Brown stole in at the far post for the third on 19 mins. Further goals by Beckie Herbert(2), Hannah Macleod and Lauren Turner gave Leicester a seven-goal victory that means they finish top of the premier division table. Maddie Hinch saved a late penalty flick to keep her clean sheet and deprive Birmingham of a consolation goal. BUCS winners Birmingham have the Cup to concentrate on but miss out on the play offs.

Leicester played in second gear throughout and gained three points in quiet fashion.
With no Crista Cullen and Katie Long injured, Leicester welcomed back Anne Panter this weekend after a long lay off. A first-half strike from Hannah Macleod wasn't added to until late on when Beckie Herbert grabbed two in the final 10 minutes.This result means Brooklands are relegated.

In what was probably the best game of the season so far Loughborough leapfrogged Sutton Coldfield after winning this topsy-turvy tabletop clash. A Giselle Ansley PC strike gave the students the lead but goals from Sarah Mills and Vicky Woolford gave Sutton the advantage by half-time. Holly Brown found herself through on the keeper and drilled low underneath to draw Loughborough level. In a very competitive game Sutton Coldfield's downfall was largely due to their inability to convert any of their many PC opportunities,credit to Loughborough's defending. Finnola Busbridge scored Loughborough's winner shooting past Becky Batsford. Lots of tears and celebrations at the end and it's games like this that make you just how much it means - Andy Smith.
The Northern Division advantage is now with Lufbra but with both sides still to play Durham it's not all over just yet.

Cannock threw away a deserved 2-0 lead to let Olton out of jail. With Jess Wood and Jo Leigh running Olton ragged, the Olton side who beat Slough yesterday hadn't turned up.
Cannock took the lead when Latasha Webb scored from PC, soon after Amy Turnbull scored the goal of the game with a wonderful strike. Olton were given a lifeline midway through the second period when they too converted a PC shooting past Sabbie Heesh. With about 10 minutes left Emma Mccabe scrambled home an equaliser to keep Olton 2 points ahead of Cannock.

Sutton Coldfield finally managed to excise their Sunderland hoodoo with an emphatic 4-1 victory. Vicky Woolford scored twice early on to take her season's tally to 21. Clare Florida-James restored Sutton's two goal margin before half-time from a well worked penalty corner after Joss Plummer had scored for Sunderland.
Sarah Mills bagged Sutton's fourth goal.
