The Isle of Man women’s national team made a successful return to footballing action in the Umbro Cup tournament in Manchester.
A year after their last competitive fixture, the Manx team drew their opening match against Acton with a one-all draw.
The Island goal came from captain Gill Whittle.
They then followed that up with a 3-0 success over Liverpool Federal Reserves, courtesy of goals from Dawn Georgeson, Eleanor Gawne and Donna Harrison, before Harrison and Donna Shimmin secured a 2-0 victory against Chester City.
