Last Sunday’s FAWNL Division One Midlands visit to Wem Town, which was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch, has been re-scheduled for Sunday, October 17.

Belles are currently fourth in the table with 13 points from six games.

They are one point and one place ahead of Leek who have played two games more than Belles.

Since Andy Butler’s side drew 1-1 with Long Eaton United at the Keepmoat Stadium, Lincoln City have won twice to move top of the table with 18 points from seven games.

The quick re-arrangement of the game against tenth-placed Wem gives Belles the chance to keep themselves firmly in the title race.

Belles are due to end the month with a trip to Boldmere St Michaels who are currently second with 16 points from seven games.

This month’s penultimate Sunday sees Belles in Vitality Women’s FA Cup action and a third round qualifying tie at home to Nottingham Trent University who play two tiers lower than Belles.
