AFC Telford United Ladies lost 3-2 in a close home match against Rugby Town Women First on 22 March 2026 at Telford College in Wellington, Shropshire. The result means the team has now lost four consecutive league matches in a row since February, including recent games against Lichfield City, Walsall, and Newcastle Town.
The match was a reversal of the result from 18 January 2026, when Telford beat the same opponents 3-1 during an away trip to Rugby. Managed by Beth Owens, the Telford squad currently features top scorer Abigail Beady, who has scored six goals in eight appearances during the current season.
The visiting team, Rugby Town Women First, travelled from their base at Butlin Road to secure the points. Both clubs compete in Division One North of the West Midlands Regional Women’s Football League, which is the sixth tier of the women’s game in England.
Telford will now prepare for three straight away matches as they look to improve their recent form. The team is set to play Lichfield City on 29 March 2026, followed by trips to face Chasetown on 12 April 2026 and Whitchurch Alport on 19 April 2026.
