Wolves edged out on goal difference in race for title
Wolves Women missed out on the league title by goal difference despite a final day win over Brighouse Town.
Goals from Anna Morphet, Beth Merrick and Naomi Bedeau earned the 3-0 win, but Nottingham Forest’s victory over Stoke meant they took the National League Northern Premier Division title with a superior goal difference.
