The Whites have started with two wins from two, coming from behind to win 2-1 on the opening day at home to Stockport County in the league before defeating Leek Town last weekend in the FA Women’s National League Cup determining round.

Doncaster, new to the league after their lateral move from the Division One Midlands, laid their marker down early with an emphatic win on the first day of the season. FC United of Manchester were the victims as Belles fired seven past their opening day hosts.


Supporter Information

The game kicks off at 2pm at the Iqbal Poultry Stadium, Moorends, Doncaster, DN8 4NB.

Last time out

Leeds brushed aside Leek Town to qualify for the first round of the FA Women’s National League Cup.

A handful of superb individual performances including stand-in skipper Sarah Danby, debutant Ellie Dobson and top scorer Jess Rousseau helped Leeds to a 4-1 win.

It wasn’t such an enjoyable day out for Belles last week in the cup, as they conceded double figures to Northern Premier Division side Wolves.

Astonishingly, the half time score was only 1-0 to Wolves, but a second half capitulation including a half an hour spell in which the Belles conceded nine, saw Wolves advance in the cup with an 11-1 win.
