Rampant Knaresborough Town Women score 11 for the second week in succession
In their first-ever season in existence, Mike Bligh’s team have now won 12 out of 12 for the season and sit six points clear at the top of the table.
Leeds Hyde Park 2nds were the Manse Lane outfit’s latest victims and found themselves behind early on as Rachel Carmichael passed to Cass Lane, who netted her side’s 50th league goal of the season to date.
