So after 6 Fixtures, 5 in the ND1 and 1 Cup game, the ladies have 4 wins. Baring in mind, 4/6 fixtures were away from home - it's a very promising start. Steph Ord is leading the goal-scoring charts with 4 goals in 5 apps (1 as a sub), with Megan McKenzie (3 goals in 6 apps) and Ellen Turnbull (2 goals in 6 apps) not far behind.

Here's what the table looks like so far:

The ladies start their SSE Women's FA Cup campaign away to Barnsley FC Ladies on Sunday 23rd Sept.

Howay the lasses!
