Colwall and Clifton 2nd shared a 2-2 incident-packed draw at Bristol in the West Clubs Women's League Premier Division 1 when all the goals came in the first half.

After a slow start, Colwall started to find their game and took the lead when Nina Emery converted a short corner.

Clifton hit back to equalise and then went ahead with a controversial penalty flick, awarded when goalkeeper Anna Price was adjudged to have pushed the ball away with her arm in making a good save.

Determined Colwall battled back and got on terms when Jackie Styles finished off a superb passing move covering the length of the field.

Both sides strove for a winner after the interval but the defences held out.

Alison Preece fired a brace as lowly Hereford ended a disappointing run in the North Division with their best performance of the season to claim a 3-0 win over visiting Chipp-enham 2nd.

Promising youngster Gemma Jones gave Hereford an early lift with a fine solo goal, and Preece extended the lead when she picked up a loose ball to hit the target with a crisp drive from the edge of the D.

Hereford continued to dominate after the break and Preece made sure of victory with another fine, long-distance strike.
