Fulham Women welcomed New London Lionesses to Motspur Park. Fulham Women worked hard and grabbed the win.
Foward Charmaine True developed an injury during the warm up, which led to the starting XI changing last minute. Ellie Olds stepped up to replace True. Once again our starting XI consisted of players from our Under 18s squad, Milla Lewis and Ilana Harris-Walters. a Further two Under 18s players joined their teammates on the pitch during the game, Ede Buchele and Holly Cowan.
After completing the London Marathon last weekend, Ellie Olds showed us that she was back by scoring the first goal of the game.

The Final whistle was blown at Motspur Park, end result 3-1 to Fulham Women.
Not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 Under U18’s players on the pitch in the second half today. Delighted to see them contributing to the well fought win, gain vital development minutes and hearing the praise for them from the bench and dugout.
