Women washed out

The Charlton women's team missed the chance to return to winning ways after Sunday's clash with Brighton & Hove Albion was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at the Withdean Stadium.

The Addicks were looking for a victory in order to pull from Crystal Palace and Fulham at the foot of the table.

Meanwhile, the women's reserves missed the chance to go top when they were beaten 2-1 at Sparrows Lane by league leaders Colchester United.

The Addicks dominated the first half but failed to turn this into goals as Stacey Little hit the crssbar and Kalie Balfour, Stef Simmons, Mary Onianwa and Jess Creighton all went close.

Jessica Creighton netted the Addicks goal and the host side then had a blatant penalty turned down when Balfour was felled by a clumsy challenge.
