The top two sides in the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Women’s Football League, Premier Division, separated only by goal difference at the end of the season went to battle once again for the BHWFL League Cup. With Colney Heath Reserves securing the League, they were looking to complete the league and cup double over the Blues.
Dual-signed from Stevenage, forward, Shakeela Hussain’s wonder strike in the 36th minute from all of 30 yards settled the tie with a rocket of a goal that was worthy of winning any cup final and ensured that Dunstable would win the trophy. AFC Dunstable also picked up the award of Best Hospitality from the league to cap a fine season for the Blues.
We were fortunate to have photographer Ed Payne on hand to capture all of the action.
