Your Ewes at the Don Amott Arena. 🐑

League action resumes at the Don Amott 🐑

It's a lively start and with the Ewes applying some good early pressure to set the tone. ⚪️0-0 🔵 ['9]

Jones with a great save to deny the visitors of an unlikely goal. Horner takes advantage of a defensive mix-up to find herself one on one with the Derby keeper, but Jones stands tall and prevents any danger. ⚪️0-0 🔵 ['19]

GOAL!! Kate Oakley slots in at the back post following a free kick for the Ewes! We're one up! ⚪️1-0 🔵 ['28]

GOAL! Minnie Wilson adds a second following some slick one touch passing down the right flank. ⚪️2-0 🔵 ['39]

Half-time at the Don Amott. A strong performance from the Ewes, in all areas of the pitch, see them going in for the break with a comfortable two goal lead. More of the same in the second 45 please. 🐑

One change as we get back underway for the second half. Marnie Drake replaces Kate Oakley

Derby have started the second half in the same way they finished the first! Wilson threads a lovely ball through two defenders for Edwards, but unfortunately it's just a little too close to the keeper for her to reach. ⚪️2-0 🔵 ['49]

Edwards almost makes it three! A superb save from Crosbie in the Halifax net that denied her. ⚪️2-0 🔵 ['54]

It's Chenè Muir this time that narrowly misses. She muscled her way ahead of the defender to leave herself with a clear sight on goal, again the Halifax keeper prevents the third Derby goal. ⚪️2-0🔵 ['62]

A second change for the Ewes ⚪️2-0🔵 ['77]

Jones to the rescue again! A speculative strike by Settle seemed destined for the top corner but Jones gets a hand to it to tip it over for a corner. Great save! ⚪️2-0🔵 ['83]

Another change for the Ewes. ⚪️2-0🔵 ['86]

Derby make a fourth change. ⚪️2-0🔵 [90']

That's time! Derby get their first victory and points of the campaign. A convincing victory in the end.
