City of Peterborough Ladies are beaten for the first time
Despite their lowly position in the table Wapping were well-drilled and defended stoutly while also threatening on the break. They claimed the only goal of the game five minutes from time after such a break out.
City skipper Robyn Gribble felt her side delivered an excellent perormance, but couldn’t quite force a goal. They’ve scored just seven goals in six Premier Division matches following the loss of young forwards Jeorgia Carr and Tierney Augustine to university.
