WYRE Forest Phoenix Ladies suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Droitwich Spa in the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Women’s County Cup final.

A double for April Polden in a short space of time midway through the game saw battling Phoenix miss out on some silverware.

Despite creating a host of chances, Phoenix could not beat the goalkeeper.

They are in knock-out action again on Sunday, this time in the League Cup semi-final at home against Lye (2pm ko).

Meanwhile, the under-13s lost 5-0 to Dudley Sports Girls.

Wyre Forest had been holding them at bay until just before half-time, when the Black Country side broke the deadlock.
