Hereford remain second in the North Division after 4-1 win at Wootton Bassett in the West Clubs’ Women’s League.

Emily Tompkins netted twice for Hereford who are just one point behind table-topping City of Bath.

Bassett took the lead but Hereford rallied and Jess Lambert levelled after a well-worked short corner routine between Di Feely and Claire Pritchard.

Tompkins picked up a pass from Lambert to fire Hereford ahead and then strong tackling from Amy Wilkins and Pritchard gave the visitors the edge in the second half.

Tompkins put Hereford 3-1 in front after she picked up a pass from Feely and then beat four players.

Jenny Miller rounded off an excellent performance for Hereford with their fourth goal from a short corner.

Leominster still hold pole position in Severn Division 1 despite a 4-2 reverse at third-placed Cirencester.

Skipper Carolyne Gwynn and Karen Hackley scored the goals for Leominster who suffered a blow when Kate Holder limped off with a hamstring injury after two minutes.
