Rod Wilson confessed tired legs cost Ooh Lincoln Ladies as they battled to a 1-1 draw at Manchester City.

The Lady Imps had to rely on Leandra Little to pop up with a header eight minutes from time which cancelled out Becky Grocott's opener.

Wilson said the conditions were far from ideal at the Flixston FC ground where the Women's Northern Premier Division clash was played.

And he said that combined with heavy legs, with his side having played twice in three days, meant the Lady Imps were always fighting a battle to claim all three points.

"Had we scored the first goal, I'm pretty sure we would have gone on to win the game," he said.

"But they sat in tight, hoping that we would make one mistake.

"They only had one shot in the game, and they managed to score, otherwise Kay Hawke had very little to do.

"But to be honest we looked tired and heavy legged and the conditions were far from ideal.

"We kept on plugging away and eventually snatched an equaliser when Leandra Little scored."
