Team Northumbria have never reached the women's football final and beat Loughborough University in the semi final to take on hot favourites, University of Wales Institute Cardiff, at the home of Queens Park Rangers.
Although Northumbria dominated possession for long periods, a strike by Bethan Price and a penalty save from Jo Price gave UWIC a 1-0 victory over Northumbria in the BUSA Women’s Football Championship Final.
Northumbria threw everything forward in search of a dramatic equaliser but the ball just wouldn’t go in for them, on an afternoon of high tension and high temperatures.
