The afternoon didn't begin as planned for West End, who suffered an early setback when their goalkeeper sustained an ankle injury during the warm-up. Wishing her a speedy recovery—we hope to see you back on the pitch soon.

Played in challenging conditions with heavy rain sweeping across the ground at times, both teams showed great determination throughout. Although Workington raced into a 3-0 lead inside the opening 25 minutes, West End responded brilliantly, pulling a goal back and creating chances to get the score to 3-2, even striking the crossbar. Had that effort gone in, the game may have taken a very different turn. As West End pushed forward in search of another goal, Workington capitalised late on to secure a 4-1 victory. The scoreline perhaps doesn't reflect how competitive the game really was.
