Footballers return from Lancashire with a draw and a defeat
THE Isle of Man’s women’s football team continued their preparations for the forthcoming Appleby Inter-Island tournament with two games away in Morecambe over the weekend.
On Saturday, the hosts took the lead twice, only for the IoM to equalise on both occasions through captain Kym Hicklin and Gymns’ forward Eleanor Gawne. On Sunday, the Manx took a two-goal lead thanks to goals from Megan Loughran and Alannah Hall, but Morecambe came storming back eventually winning 4-2.
A full round-up of the weekend’s women’s football will appear in the Manx Independent.
