Cambridge City Women back in English League

Cambridge City won their final match in the East Women’s League to overtake Dereham at the top of the table and gain promotion to the English League one year after being relegated.

They won 3-1 at Tunbridge Wells to finish two points above Dereham who had already completed their fixtures.

City took the lead with a fine individual goal by Kellie Lee James but Tunbridge Wells levelled through Charlotte Cremin who deflected a corner shot high into the net.

Liane Shadrack restored City’s lead in the second half with an open play goal.

Tunbridge Wells troubled City with quick breaks but had to withstand a lot of pressure. It was a second goal by James which ensured City’s win and promotion.
