Draw is enough as St John clinch title

At Les Quennevais the new champions may have dropped their first points of the season following a 1-1 draw with last season’s champions, St Paul’s, but by avoiding defeat St John landed the championship for the second time.

Jess Vieira fired St John ahead shortly before half-time after an

impressive team build-up involving Jodie Botterill and Becky Darts. But their joy was short-lived as a minute before the interval a St John defender got the final touch on Isabel de Freitas’ free kick to level the scores.
