Brentwood Town Ladies Football Club's new women's team made a successful debut on Sunday, coming second in a national charity five-a-side tournament at Wembley.

They fought their way to the final, scoring more goals than any other team, but came up against a strong experienced team from Stratford-upon-Avon.

In a hard fought match, Stratford just shaded it and emerged 1-0 victors.

Brentwood's Olivia Worsfold, with 12 goals, finished the tournament's top goalscorer.
