Leicester City women opened their season away to Aston Villa defeated 1-2 in the end after taking the lead from a Natasha Flint goal making her an historical figure in the history of LCFC Women.
Four players were given their debuts. Abbie McManus, Georgia Brougham, Molly Pike and Jess Sigsworth. Leicester did start cleverly but had to see their first game ending pointless, again a grand experience and hopefully wins and points will come in the games coming up.
