Ladies held in final fixture



West Ham Ladies completed their 2015/16 season with a goalless draw at home to Queens Park Rangers on Sunday afternoon.

The Hammers completed their slate of 22 FA Women’s Premier League Southern Division fixtures by holding the Hoops to a stalemate at AFC Hornchurch.

The result meant Marc Nurse’s side ended the season with just one defeat in their final four matches – a marked improvement on the run of heavy defeats they suffered in February.

However, Sunday’s result means West Ham will finish tenth of the 12 teams in the Southern Division, ahead of Plymouth Argyle and Forest Green Rovers, after winning just five of their 22 matches.

The highlight of an at-times testing campaign came in early March, when captain Katie Bottom’s penalty secured a memorable 1-0 derby victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Boleyn Ground.

The club will now take the summer months to take stock and rebuild ahead of the 2016/17 campaign.
