Orioles struck first early in the game, but a superb solo effort from Sarah Maltby earned Bluebirds a 1-1 draw.

In the B Division, leaders Swallows nipped bottom team Swifts 1-0, the only goal coming from Karen Turner who converted the rebound after Nicola Wilkinson's shot had bounced off the keeper's pads.

Cardinals edged Canaries 2-1 after taking the lead through Michelle Clarke.

Ali Cameron equalised for the Yellows before Eva Dillas converted a penalty flick for the winner after Canaries' keeper was penalised for obstruction.
