Delivering a masterclass in one-touch football and intricate passing patterns, the girls dismantled AFC Stockport 5-0 to officially secure the league title. It was a night defined by clinical finishing at one end and heroic defending at the other.

Second Half: Finishing in Style • 76 Minutes (4-0): After a period of intense pressure and "Tiki Taka" patterns, Rebecca Eccles threaded a sublime through ball to Libby Keown. Libby kept her cool, opening up her body to slot a wonderful left-foot curler into the corner. • 81 Minutes (5-0): The icing on the cake.
