On the final day of the 2016 / 17 season, West Brom suffered a 2-1 defeat to Town.

This was a much changed West Brom team and they fought throughout this game to keep Town out.

In the end Town had a convincing win which took them to the top of the first table of the season but, in reality the victory should have been even more comfortable as chances went begging.

 

Town started brightly and in the first 8 or 9 minutes they have 4 good chances to take the lead with Emily Heckler, Sarah Danby and Charley Evans all shooting wide or, over the WBA goal.

 

Town had the majority of the possession but they couldn't find the killer ball and Heckler was caught offside on a couple of occasions.

 

With a minute of the half remaining a free kick from the right was cleared to just outside the edge of the box, Evans hit a screamer which nestled in the top right of the West Brom goal, 1-0.

3 minutes into added time and Heckler picked up the ball near their area and jinked her way round the defender and goalkeeper to finish well.

 

Half time 2-0.

 

Town got off to a great start in the second half when in the 48th Kate Mallin opened her account for the season with a calm finish past the keeper. 

 

For the remainder of the half it was one way traffic, with West Brom's best chance coming from a deflected clearance by a Town defender.

 

Mallin wrapped the game up in the 2nd minute of added time to give the scoreline a more convincing look.
