The forward opened the scoring on just five minutes at Sixfields Stadium – her second goal in three games in all competitions – and, although there were plenty of opportunities for the remainder of the contest, it proved to be the only goal of the game but enough for our FAWNL Cup progress.
Following our 7-1 win over London Bees in our previous group phase fixture, the win takes us to six points in total in our group and are now guaranteed to have qualified for the knockout stages in either the FAWNL Cup or Plate with one group game left to play – away to Real Bedford on Sunday 28 September, 2026, who also have maximum points from their two group games so far.
Currently ahead of the Pirates on goal difference, the group winners and 10 best runner-ups progress to FAWNL Cup while the 12 remaining runners-up, plus 20 best third-place teams, advance to the Plate. It means our youngsters remain unbeaten in four games in all competitions – scoring an impressive 12 goals in that time – while keeping the Cobblers at bay for the 90 minutes saw us register our first clean sheet of the campaign.
