Review of matches in England AXA FA Women's Premier League, National Division played September10, 2000

 

Colin Aldis

 

Arsenal made another trip to Merseyside, and overwhelmed struggling Liverpool. Angela Banks almost doubled her seasonís tally, with 4 more goals. Marieanne Spacey scored 2, and Jayne Ludlow added another. Irish International, Ciara Grant scored her first of the season, and to make up the 10-0 scoreline, there 2 own goals by Liverpool players.

Doncaster Belles set up the trip to play Arsenal next Sunday, with a 3-1 win over Southampton. Karen Walker opened the scoring after 7 minutes, and then Mel Garside added a second. ëSaintsí fought back in the second half, and Una Nwajei made it 2-1 on the hour mark. The home victory was secured when Amanda Barr, one of 3 players to transfer from Everton in the summer, hammered home a long range shot in the last few seconds.

Tranmere Rovers were the first team to meet Charlton in the league and had chances to win, but had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Everton had the better of the 3rd match to be held in the Liverpool area, all against London clubs, and won 2-0, with ex-Belles defender Chantelle Woodhead getting the first, mid-way through the 1st half. Close to the end, Kelly Shimmin set up English Universities Jody Handley (recently moved from the red side of Liverpool) for the second.

With the Belles having a rest day, instead of a trip to South East London to meet Charlton, Arsenal moved 3 points clear at the top with a comfortable victory over Sunderland. Angela Banks latched onto a superb through ball by Faye White to score the first of her two goals as early as the 4th minute. Sarah Wooliscroft and Faye White (both defenders) added one each to give Arsenal a 3-0 half-time lead. Despite a spirited start in the second half by the newly promoted side, Arsenal went on to win 6-0, with goals by Angela Banks (her 5th of the season), Marianne Spacey with a penalty and Clare Wheatley.

Southampton took the lead with another goal from captain, Lyn Armstrong but it ended all square against Everton, after Jodie Handley hit a disputed equaliser.

Tranmere Rovers moved up the table with a second win, after a trip to South Wales, beating Barry Town 4-1. England International, Sue Smith scored two, with Lyn Carter and Kelly Burns getting one each. Ayshea Martyn scored the Barry goal.

English Universities squad player, Amy Mason scored with a free- kick to give Millwall all 3 points at Liverpool.

COMMENTARY

August 27, 2000

Commentary
Two name changes to report, with last season's champions Croydon moving to FA Premier League Club, Charlton Athletic. You will notice that they did not play the first match, and there is
news circulating that Croydon Athletic (a Ryman Premier League Club) are doing their best to block the move. This is not surprising as the club, based at the Croydon Arena, which is owned by the
local council including a running track, have invested a certain amount of money in the womens team over the last 5 years or so.
This probably explains the reason why Debbie Bampton moved to play for Doncaster Belles, which is a club based some 150 miles north of London. Croydon is in South London.

Promoted club
BS Kestrels become Sunderland and will wear the famous red and white stripes, and may hope to play a match at the new "stadium of light."

There have been many changes of personnel, which will be highlighted as the season progresses.

Arsenal go straight to the top of the league, after an impressive 5-0 win against Tranmere, making sure not to lose early season matches which cost them the title last season. Angela Banks scored twice, with new Irish International Caroline Thorpe also getting 2. The other goal was scored by Jayne Ludlow, a Welsh International
who joined from Southampton, who plays alongside captain Sian Williams who is her team manager for Wales, and her coach for the English Universities team.

Sunderland also started well, winning 4-1 at Liverpool, with Donna Lanaghan getting an early goal. One of Liverpool's new young players Sara Tyson then equalised, but the prolific Melanie Reay regained the lead. Former Liverpool player, Jody Baxter made it 3-1, and a new signing, Emma Bell added the other.

Doncaster Belles travelled to South Wales for a historic meeting with promoted Barry Town, and after going behind to a goal by Ayshea Martyn, it took until the 75th minute before Karen Walker equalised. Former Croydon player-manager Debbie Bampton MBE (now 38 years old, who had reported she would retire) scored the 2nd, and Mel
Garside made it 3-1.

At Totton, Southampton Saints struggled to find the form of a few days before in a friendly, and went behind to a Terri Warren goal, which flew into the roof of the net from 20 metres. But after some strong half-time words by manager Vanessa Raynbird, and new Director of Womens Football, Sue Lopez MBE looking on, Saints rallied to
draw 1-1 after a looping header by the veteran captain, Lyn Armstrong in the 75th minute.


The second week of fixtures will still not involve Charlton/Croydon giving Sunderland a day off.
