Keighley Ladies Development team stay top of the table after securing a 2-0 victory over Republica.

Playing up hill and against a biting wind Keighley battled for possession with Becky Graner, Linsay Munro, Isabel Moorehouse and Sophie Taylor pinning Republica in their own half for long periods.

After 30 minutes a great shot from Taylor rattled the crossbar and Moorhouse pounced to blast home the rebound.

Republica hit back in the second half but could not hit the back of the net. Maria McArdle eventually made the game safe for Keighley as the heavy pitch began to take its toll

The home side came close to pulling a goal back, but their 25-yard free kick flew over the bar.
