      1. 92'

        Full time! Ipswich win but it’s a strong performance by Gwalia United.

      2. 91'

        The corner comes to nothing.

      3. 91'

        Ipswich scramble on the delivery, and the reds have a corner.

      4. 90'

        Chance for Gwalia to get the ball in as Scahill is fouled.

      5. 88'

        Not long left now. It’s been a tightly contested game but it looks to be Ipswich who’ll be taking home three points. A performance to be happy with however for the hosts.

      6. 84'

        Ruby Seaby looks to add a third but misfires in the area.

      7. And from the free kick they put the game to bed. It’s driven in low, there’s some shoving in the area, but it falls to none other than Sophie Peskett who slides it home for her second of the afternoon.

      8. Goal!

        82'

        Sophie Peskett

      9. 81'

        Free kick chance for Ipswich on the edge of the area.

      10. 80'

        Megan Wearing gets on the end of a deep free kick and heads wide.

      11. 78'

        A glimmer of hope for Gwalia as Scahill gets the ball with space in the box. But it just gets away from her.

      12. 75'

        Kiera O’Keefe introduces herself to the game with a good block on the edge of the box.

      13. 72'

        Keira O’Keefe has come on in place of Ellie-Mai Sanford.

      14. 70'

        Chance!

        Peskett has another shot on goal. But again, O’Sullivan-Jones makes the stop.

      15. 68'

        We are approaching the 70 minute mark and Gwalia have done superbly to keep themselves in this game. Can they push on and find un unlikely leveler?

      16. 65'

        Elli-Mai Sanford is playing on but now Manon Pearce has a head injury. The hosts are in the wars at the moment.

        Pearce is also able to continue.

      17. 60'

        Masie Barker and Lucy Watson have been subbed off for Ipswich, Natasha Thomas and Summer Hughes have come on in their place. Meanwhile Lucy O’brien has had a shot that Ellie-Mai Sanford blocked. The Gwalia number 22 appears to be hurt.

      18. Bonnie Gready has come on in place of Libbie Piggott.

      19. 56'

        Chance!

        Maisy Barker drives a low shot towards the bottom left corner but O’Sullivan-Jones does well to stop it.

      20. 54'

        Frustration as Gwalia finally get a bit of the ball in a good position. But the ball runs out of play.

      21. 51'

        Chance!

        Peskett slides a ball in from the right and Maisy Barker tees it up before curling it over the bar.

      22. 49'

        Lloyd makes a crucial interception before Gregson receives the ball in space. But the young forward is quickly surrounded by three blue shirts and she gives a foul away.

      23. 47'

        Ipswich fire an early free kick in that Laura O’Sullivan Jones comes out to punch away.

      24. 46'

        We are underway for the second half.

      25. 45'

        Half time!

      26. 45'

        WOW!

        Gwalia almost strike! Libby Piggott plays a gorgeous ball towards Asker. Asker chests it down wonderfully and hits it on half volley. The ball swerves hectically in midair and Natalia Negri was forced to make a great save.

      27. 45'

        Peskett slides in Watson and it looks ominous for Gwalia. But the flag goes up.

      28. 40'

        As another chance goes array for Ipswich, it’s starting to become domination now. The hosts are praying for the half time whistle. 1 – 0 would be a good score line for them as it stands.

      29. 36'

        Lucy O’Brien, on early for the injured Guyatt, showed a terrifying pace to create a chance for herself. Lloyd did a fantastic job to usher her out of contention for the ball.

      30. 34'

        Chance!

        Ipswich are starting to purr. Rutherford strikes a low volley that rolls just wide of the post.

      31. The danger woman wasn’t getting any luck down the right and so popped up in the middle of the park. She pierced the Gwalia defense and through on goal, she slotted it home clinically. The visitors lead.

      32. Goal!

        32'

        Sophie Peskett

      33. 31'

        Chance!

        Lucy Watson goes close with the first real site of goal. She cuts in and shoots but it goes just wide.

      34. 26'

        The home crowd rises to their feet as Chloe Lloyd puts in a brilliant challenge on Peskett. The danger is clear down that side but Gwalia are coping well.

      35. 24'

        Mitchell gets one back for her team mate as she knocks Manon Pearce to the ground and gives Gwalia a free kick chance.

        Lloyd curls it in but Negri gathers.

      36. Yellow Card

        21'

        Cerys Jones

      37. 21'

        Gwalia lose the ball in a precarious position. Peskett breaks away before Cerys Jones comes across and body checks her. It’s a strong 50/50. But Jones is booked for the challenge.

      38. 17'

        It’s a lengthy break in play as an Shauna Guyatt receives treatment.

        She’s up and will carry on.

      39. 13'

        Gwalia United have started the game with a really high line. It’s forcing Ipswich to pass around them, which they are struggling with in the opening stages. It’s really good from the hosts.

      40. 8'

        No chances yet, Gwalia are sustaining Ipswich and finding some joy on the ball. With no Kylie Nolan to lead the line, it seems the responsibility falls upon Tia Asker this afternoon.

      41. 5'

        Peskett targets Libby Piggott again, and gets around her. That will be a good battle this afternoon.

        Ipswich have quickly settled and with them, the pattern of the game. Possession is the name of the game for the Champions elect.

      42. 3'

        Peskett tricks her way down the right side and gets a cross in.

        It was cleared well. It’s been a fast start to the game.

      43. 1'

        Kick off!
