So today's opponents are Leafield Athletic who like Notts, have made a good start to the season after struggling last term.

Leafield have recruited well & it looks like they will be one of the better sides in the league this season. It will be a tough test for Notts today.

Notts will need to be at their best, & they need to be strong at the back and take their chances when they come.

Hoping for a Notts win but a draw would be a good result.

It ends with a narrow defeat, but the Notts ladies should feel proud that they ran Leafield so close and deserved a point on the play and effort they put in.

Leafield have now won 5 on the bounce and have not conceded a goal in that time. They are a top side in this league 

The Notts Ladies are getting closer to these top sides.
