Darwen Rangers took the lead early in the first half against the run of play scoring from a corner kick. However, it was soon all square again as Wigan hit back when Lydia Mills swept home Jenny Preston's well timed through ball. Darwen came close on a couple of occasions but goalkeeper Chloe Jordan put in another brave display in the Wigan goal, making a string of top quality saves. Wigan's defence was solid with the two Bethany's - Heaton and Evans proving to be a formidable partnership. Wigan's midfield also looked lively with Chloe Brereton, Sarah Webster and Jenny Preston putting in excellent hardworking performances.

Wigan could have scored more but for the Darwen goalkeeper denying striker Lydia Mills' numerous chances on goal.

Shannon Galvin (Jenny Preston) almost put Wigan ahead, her shot on goal being just wide. Eventually Wigan took the lead in the second half when Chloe Brereton struck home the winner with a superb 'Beckham-esque' free kick.

Wigans defence had to work hard as Darwen pushed for the equaliser with Alexandria Heaton (Bethany Evans) making some brilliant clearances. Alicia Dean (Sarah Webster) came onto the field and gave a typical 100% display.

Wigan were the worthy winners of all three points and battled well to secure a home win after a gritty performance by Darwen Rangers. This was a great team performance with every girl on the team giving their all. Their win sees them move up a place in the table to fourth.
