Warrington women's second team secured promotion with an 8-0 win over Lymm 5ths on Saturday, then clinched the Division 4 title with a minute to spare by beating Lymm 4ths 1-0 away. Saturday's game was comfortable for Warrington as Player of the Match Vicky Stout scored two goals, one of which was a spectacular reverse hit into the top left corner. Molly Rudd grabbed a hat trick of goals whilst Emma Frew was on top form down the right and scored twice. Tammy Finlayson picked up a goal from on the post to complete the rout. Sunday's game was a rearranged game against Lymm 4s and with Warrington needing a win to pip Neston for the title it was a nail-biting 70 minutes. With one minute to go Vicky Stout struck a ball on the edge of the D and Molly Rudd grabbed a touch to send it to the back of Lymm's goal. The women's first team ended the season with a 1-0 win over Lymm seconds thanks to a brilliantly worked team goal and some heroic last ditch defending from Carrie Wright. Sarah Pengelly picked out Jayne Buck in the centre of the field, who played an incisive through ball to Emma Barlow just inside the D. Steph Rawlins swooped on the ball and rounded the keeper before calmly slotting home the winner.

Warrington men's first team finished in sixth place after losing 2-0 to Southport seconds despite some great saves from Roger Parr. The sometimes feisty game was punctuated with flashes of quality from both sides including several long runs from captain Steve Worrall. Southport scored their goals with one in each half and Warrington had several chances to equalise but their pressure was not rewarded with a goal. The men's second team put in a spirited performance against University of Salford first team but couldn't avoid relegation as they were defeated 3-2.
