Bradford City WFC vs Blackburn Rovers LFC Programme

Last time out: Stoke City 1-3 Bradford City
Keen to get in on the act, Lee linked up with
Laura Elford to catch Stoke out once more
while they were still licking their wounds after
goal number two.
A superb ball from the striker found her
teammate, and Lee in turn found the back of
the net with composure that suggested
anything but it being her first strike of the
season.
The midfielder's flair and creativity had caught
the eye for the entirety of the first half, and it
continued to do so after she broke her duck.
Linking up well with Campbell on her left, new
signing Rachel Newborough on her right and
fellow midfielder Stuart, Lee was at the centre
of a number of half-chances created for City
to add to their tally.
But Stoke made the most of their opportunity
to regroup at half time and looked a lot more
solid in the second period.
Campbell struck an effort just wide past the
hour, but that was the closest the Bantams
really came to grabbing a fourth - and that the
forward herself came to bagging another hattrick.
Instead, the Potters would pull one back late
on, narrowing the deficit to a more
respectable two goals even if it didn't do them
any favours with regards to getting a result.
The points were City's, and they were enough
to lift the visitors into fourth after Derby's 3-2
defeat at home to Middlesbrough.
More importantly, the result means back-toback
wins for Bradford and gives them real
momentum going into today’s cup clash.
