In the early going, the Whites controlled possession while they looked for Teesside’s first goal. Simon Wood’s team looked to Leoni Price’s inventiveness, who was giving the hosts trouble on the right. Astle ran into the area after her through ball, but the offside flag was raised against the striker.
Maddie Myers’s smart play down the wing gave Norton the first opening of the match despite the early pressure.
Her low cross found Sophie Hodgson 12 yards from goal, but she was unable to muster any force for her strike, and Abi Megeary in the United goal had an easy time stopping it.
Shortly afterward, the Ancients returned, and this time Lucy Turner was there to provide a strong block to prevent Cara Milne-Redhead.
The game was stretching when Kath Smith sent a searching ball down the line, hoping to find Astle, but Vicki Burton made an excellent sliding challenge to stop the danger.
The ball was recovered by United deep into the hosts’ territory, and the hosts were finding it difficult to handle Leeds’ pressing. To the right, Harriet Jakeman made a risky delivery, but Astle was unable to guide her.
