A late equaliser denied our friends at Torquay United Women all three points in a vital game at Southampton yesterday (Sunday 24 March).
Fighting to avoid relegation from the FA National League in their first season at this level, United took the lead through Ocean Latto, but a late goal from Southampton left it 1-1.
Our sponsored player, club captain Danni Wyatt, who played the full 90 minutes, said: “It was a shame to not take all three points out of yesterday’s crucial fixture for the club, but we dominated the game for the most part.
“It’s difficult to concede in the last five minutes of any game. We look to continue our battle, and it’s not over.”
This is Torquay’s first season in the FA National League, which includes the third and fourth tiers of women’s soccer in England. United gained promotion after finishing top of the South West Women’s League Premier Division last season.
We first sponsored Danni in the 2017/18 campaign, when she helped Torquay to third place in the league and to the final of the Devon Cup, and won the goal of the season award.
In 2022, she helped Torquay to a sensational victory in the Devon FA Cup Final and was named club player of the season.
And in 2020, she was among our friends who featured in the popular comedy promo video With a T.
