Miss Kick Match Preview: Durham Women (A).

👀 A LOOK BACK: Bristol City Women 4-0 Crystal Palace (Sun, Feb 6th)

City got on the scoresheet inside the first minute when Gwen Davies played the ball to her midfield parter Chloe Bull, who picked out the the back of the net from the edge of the box. 

As a mark of intent from the Robins, the goal had the desired effect and with the faithful crowd behind them and their tails up, the second duly followed in the 15^th minute.

Mel Johnson played a great ball into the box and Abi Harrison slid in to power the ball past Emily Orman in the Palace goal.

Aimee Palmer bagged City's third of the game as she scored directly from a corner kick for the second time this season.

Harrison got herself a brace in the 83^rd minute when Davies played her in and the Scot fired in on her right foot.

🆚 OUR OPPONENTS: Durham Women

Formed: 2014
Stadium: Maiden Castle
Nickname: The Wildcats

Sunday's fixture sees these two sides meet for the second time this season after Durham took all three points in a 2-0 win at the Robins High Performance Centre back in September.

Durham come in to tomorrow's match up brimming with confidence after leapfrogging London City Lionesses in to 3rd after beating the Lionesses at Princes Park, and they aiming to complete the double over the Robins.

City returned to winning ways last weekend with an emphatic 4-0 win at home to Crystal Palace so they will be keen to follow that result up with another win as they look to close the gap on table-toppers Liverpool.
