Sutton's women's team's first game in the London & South East Regional League Premier Division ended in a narrow 2-1 defeat against Fulham this afternoon.
A crowd of 284 saw a well contested game that was level until fifteen minutes from time when a low right foot cross was turned in at the far post, and in the 90th minute Fulham scored a second, again a close range tap-in. Sutton pulled back a deserved goal in stoppage time, a superb strike from Olivia Watson opening her account of the season but too late to prevent Fulham holding on for the victory.
To complete this weekend's action, the academy side lost by the only goal of the game at Gillingham on Saturday morning.
