WILTSHIRE TYPIFIES LADY GLOVERS' CHARACTER

Yeovil Town Ladies banished the memory of their defeat to Everton moved back to the top of the FA Women's Super League Two with a four-goal win over Durham at Huish Park.

It was a victory that was described by two-goal striker Annie Heatherson as ' a real test of our character of us as a team and as a unit', but no one typified their character more than leading scorer Sarah Wiltshire who at the end of the game, in which she playing 65 minutes and scored the opening goal, announced that she was pregnant and wouldn't be appearing again in Green and White for the remainder of the campaign.

Wiltshire, 25, is the Lady Glovers' top scorer 12 goals - a tally which includes a hat-trick against Aston Villa Ladies - but will be missing the rest of the campaign, but will be cheering the team on from the sidelines in their quest for promotion.

Yeovil's 4-0 win over Durham brings down the curtain on Wiltshire's second spell with the Lady Glovers, she first joined the club in 2014 from Watford Ladies before moving onto Manchester City Women shortly afterwards following a number of impressive displays.

However, after failing to settle in the North West she returned the Lady Glovers' fold midway through the 2015 and she once again proved to be an influential figure for Jamie Sherwood's side.

Nevertheless, Sherwood announced after the game that her number 7 shirt, which she has worn with great distinction, will be waiting for her once she is ready to return.

And it is not beyond the realms of possibility that her third spell with Yeovil Town Ladies could start in FA Women's Super League One, a division that the Lady Glovers have strived to reach for the last couple of years.
