A second-half goal from Kathryn Smith helped Leeds United Women earn a 1-1 draw with Chorley in FAWNL Division One today.

The first chance of the contest came after 18 minutes when Laura Bartup looked to trouble the goalkeeper from 25 yards out, but saw her effort flash wide of the goal. Bartup then came close twice in quick succession, firstly firing just wide before then striking over from 15 yards out.

But it was Chorley who took the lead four minutes before the break when Lisa Topping fired home from 25 yards out.
