Sporting Khalsa held Doncaster to a 1-1 draw, with Megan Cann opening the scoring for them.

With England in action this week, there was no Women’s Super League action, so Villa were given an extra week to prepare for their FA Cup semi-final at home to Chelsea on Sunday (2.15pm).

In the West Midlands League Premier Division, Kidderminster Harriers closed the gap on leaders Sutton Coldfield Town to five points. Macy Fox, Danielle Selmes, Bailey-Raine Hodge and Chloe Whyley scored in a 4-0 victory at Crusaders.
