Five Wins, One Setback: Wolves Women’s March
Malaika Khan reviews a memorable March for Wolves Women, as they kept their title push alive with five wins from six games.
March proved to be a huge month for Wolves Women, as they continued their push at the top of the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division. Five wins from six games underlined their quality and consistency, with their only defeat coming in a controversial top-of-the-table clash against Burnley. Despite that setback, Wolves showed resilience, firepower, and determination, keeping themselves firmly in the title race while also booking a place in a cup final.
Middlesbrough 0-3 Wolves (Own goal 19’, Worsey 24’, George 86’)
Wolves began the month in strong fashion with a 3-0 away victory over Middlesbrough Women, closing the gap to league leaders to just one point. An own goal opened the scoring in the 19th minute, before Louanne Worsey doubled the lead with a header five minutes later. Tammi George sealed the win late on in the 86th minute with a composed finish. It was a controlled and professional performance on their longest away trip of the season, with Wolves showing both attacking quality and defensive solidity.
Wolves 6 (Worsey 9’, 33’, 43’, Greengrass 26’, Own goal 29’, Hughes 50’) – 0 Derby
Wolves followed that up with a dominant 6-0 victory over Derby County. Louanne Worsey starred with a first-half hat-trick, while Charlotte Greengrass and an own goal made it five before the break. Amber Hughes added a sixth early in the second half to cap off a relentless display. It was one of Wolves’ most complete performances of the season, overwhelming their opponents with intensity and attacking fluidity.
Burnley 1 (Chadwick 6’) – 0 Wolves
Wolves suffered their only defeat of the month in a controversial 1-0 loss to Burnley in a crucial top-of-the-table clash. Charlie Chadwick’s early goal in the 6th minute proved decisive, but the game was overshadowed by a major refereeing decision. Wolves thought they had equalised through Georgia Marshall, only for the goal to be ruled out for a foul, despite replays suggesting the foul had actually gone against Wolves. Despite dominating large spells and creating chances, Wolves were unable to find a way back, making it a frustrating and potentially pivotal result in the title race.
West Bromwich Albion 0-2 Wolves (Quigley 57’ 65’)
Wolves responded perfectly by booking their place in the final with a 2-0 win over local rivals West Bromwich Albion. Racheal Quigley was the hero, scoring twice in the 57th and 65th minutes from set-pieces, both assisted by Anna Morphet corners. It was a disciplined performance against a stubborn, defensive Baggies’ side, showing Wolves’ ability to break down difficult opposition and deliver in big moments.
Loughborough Lightning 0-5 Wolves (Greengrass 21’, 90+2’, Merrick 45’, Hughes 56’, Quigley 66’)
Wolves returned to league action four days later with a convincing 5-0 win over Loughborough Lightning. Charlotte Greengrass opened the scoring in the 21st minute and added another late on in the 92nd minute, while Beth Merrick, Amber Hughes, and Racheal Quigley also got on the scoresheet. It was another dominant display, which highlighted Wolves’ attacking depth, with four different goalscorers.
Wolves 1 (Hughes 76’) – 0 West Bromwich Albion
Wolves closed out March with a hard-fought 1-0 derby win over West Bromwich Albion at Molineux. After a tense and closely contested match, Amber Hughes scored the decisive goal in the 76th minute with a superb diving header from an Anna Morphet cross. It was a gritty performance that showed Wolves’ ability to grind out results, even when they’re not at their best.
A near-perfect month:
March was a statement month for Wolves Women. Five wins from six games, a place in the Birmingham FA Challenge Cup final, and continued pressure on Burnley at the top all underline their credentials as genuine title contenders. The only blemish, a controversial defeat to Burnley, may yet prove significant, but Wolves’ response in the games that followed showed their resilience and determination.
Attention now turns to a busy April schedule. Wolves host Rugby Borough Women on April 2nd, before travelling to face Stoke City Women on April 12th. They then return home to take on Halifax Women on April 26th. With momentum, depth, and belief on their side, Wolves head into the final stretch of the season firmly in the hunt for silverware and promotion.
