The Opposition

The Solihull-based side play in Division One Midlands, currently occupying second in the table, joint on points with Northampton Town in first.

Formed in 1997, the club was one of the first in the Midlands dedicated to the female game, having had many a name pass through, including former Lioness Eni Aluko.

Leafield’s journey to today’s fixture comes after a 3-1 win away from home to Derby County, which followed a 3-0 win at home to Lye Town Ladies.

Top scorer Evangeline Gallop is one to watch today, having netted 10 times for her side so far this season, closely followed by Jessica Lowe with six goals.
