At last the wait is over for Yeovil Town Ladies, as the Lady Glovers recorded their first Women's Super League victory over Everton Ladies.
Hannah Short's long range strike in the 21st minute - which Toffees' keeper Kirsty Levell was unable to keep out - ultimately proved to be the difference, as the Lady Glovers moved off the bottom of the table at the expense of their opponents.
Not since their 2-0 win over Sheffield FC Women on the final day of the 2016 WSL Two season - which clinched them the league title ahead of Bristol City Women - had Yeovil Ladies last won a competitive fixture, and Short featured for the Lady Glovers on that occasion.
41 games have passed since then - a sequence that includes 32 league fixtures - spread across the 2017 Spring Series, the 2017-18 Women's Super League season and the current Super League season.
However, it is worth mentioning that this run also includes a number of creditable results - including a goalless draw with Arsenal Ladies last April at Weston Super Mare's Woodspring Stadium.
During this time the club has also undergone numerous changes. These have included a switch to being a fully professional side, a managerial change which saw promotion winning manager Jamie Sherwood stand down and Millwall Lionesses manager Lee Burch appointed as his replacement- Sherwood is still connected with the club as Director of Football - and most recently Steve Allinson stood down as chairman and was replaced by Gary Dawkins.
Now for the Lady Glovers the only way is up and they now only a point behind ninth placed Brighton and Hove Albion Women, who they face at home next month in their final fixture before the winter break.
