Penrith had their moments as Lily Gaulton and Heather Fawkes squandered good chances however Mossley Hill clinically wrapped up the game with 2 late goals to make the final score 0-5.
Manager Simon Savage said “Despite the scoreline we can take many positives from our performance. We have competed well for long periods against a very good Mossley Hill team. The 2 goals either side of half time were frustrating and showed a lack of concentration on our part. We must learn these lessons.”
