T.N.S. Ladies 1  Wolves Women 4  (Clarkson 30, 34, Johnson 79, Ledgister 83)

Two goals in each half gave Wolves a convincing win on their trip to Oswestry. They acquitted themselves well on the 3G surface after adapting to the bounce of the ball.

T.N.S recorded the first shot on target after just three minutes, forcing Wolves' keeper Becky Thomas into an early save. Just a minute later Wolves replied with a shot from Nicole Ledgister, which went just wide of the post.

As Wolves adapted to the surface, they started to press, with Anne Johnson shooting just wide, and an early-taken free kick from Sarah Lambeth being well stopped by the keeper.

The Wolves defence was coping admirably with the T.N.S attack, with Michelle Thomas leading the line.

On 30 minutes striker Anne Johnson received a pass from Claire Hermon, and put through Heather Clarkson, whose carefully-placed shot beat the keeper to make it 1-0 to Wolves. Ledgister could have made it to just a minute later, but she shot just wide.

On 34 minutes Clarkson was on the score-sheet again with a stunning individual effort from 30 yards out which nestled in the top left-hand corner of the net, sending Wolves in 2-0 up at half time.

Straight from the kick-off Wolves were on the attack again, as a cross from Clarkson was met by Maria Beaney, whose shot was stopped by the keeper.

On 49 minutes T.N.S were awarded a corner, which was well defended and headed away by Anne Johnson. Just four minutes later Johnson came close at the other end as her shot from 20 yards out went just wide.

Wolves were putting on the pressure, with Michelle Thomas, Clarkson and Ledgister all coming close, but in the 75th minute they were caught on the break by T.N.S and Kate Thomas lobbed Wolves keeper Becky Thomas to get a goal back for the home side. Just a minute later they came close again, but this time Thomas made a good stop.

Wolves were on the attack again, and on 79 minutes Anne Johnson met a cross from Beaney and volleyed it into the net to restore Wolves' two goal cushion.

Four minutes later captain Ledgister was finally rewarded for all her hard work when some fine passing play from Clarkson and Amber Quick ended with Ledgister scoring her 16th goal of the season.

Having effectively killed off the game, Wolves played possessive football to run down the clock and celebrated a 4-1 win.

Wolves Manager Dave Ball said: "After suffering a spate of injuries, it's nice to be able to field a more consistent side, giving the players continuity within the team.

"I was pleased with our performance today, sticking to the task and putting together some nice passing play."

Next Sunday (3rd February) sees Wolves entertain Sheffield United in the second round of the League Cup, before hosting the same team in the league the following week.

Both games will be played at Goodrich Sports Stadium, Stafford Road in Fordhouses, Wolverhampton, just behind the Goodrich factory. All games kick off at 2.30pm.
