Bermuda international Harry Twite has completed a mid-season move to Basford United FC, swapping Lboro Students FC for the Ambers in a deal that runs through the remainder of the current campaign. The versatile central defender, who is equally comfortable operating at right-back, was fast-tracked into the starting eleven by the management duo of Gandi and Saul.
The move paid immediate dividends as Twite helped anchor a resolute defensive unit in a gritty 1-0 victory over Corby Town FC. In a social media release welcoming the Islander, the club expressed their delight at securing the defender's services as they look to solidify their league standing.
It was a more frustrating afternoon in the AD&P Cup Quarter-Final for Keunna Dill and Trinae Edwards. Despite a spirited individual performance from Dill, FC United of Manchester fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Accrington Stanley Women.
After falling behind early, Dill showcased her predatory instincts in the 31st minute, firing home a clinical equalizer to drag her side level. However, the Mancunians were unable to capitalize on the momentum, conceding twice more as their cup run came to a premature end.
Elsewhere, Bermuda’s attacking contingent continues to thrive in front of goal. Jasmine Spence helped reignite Newport Pagnell Town Women’s campaign with a dominant 6-0 demolition of River City Women at Willen Road. The victory serves as a major statement of intent for Spence’s side as they look to climb the table following a period of inconsistent form.
In West Yorkshire, Aaliyah Nolan maintained her impressive scoring streak to help Bradford City Women secure a comfortable 3-0 win over South Shields Women. Playing at the Horsfall Community Stadium, Nolan was on target once again, providing the clinical edge that has made her a vital component of the Bantams' offensive arsenal this season.
