Unhappy OOH Lincoln Ladies manager Rod Wilson said his side's 2-1 home defeat to Leeds City Vixens was "an embarrassment".

Despite Sophie Barker's second goal in as many home games, Wilson's side slumped against a team firmly embedded in mid-table.

The result means hopes of mounting a late-season push for the Women's Premier League Northern Division title have been dashed, with Liverpool effectively guaranteed the championship.

But it was manner of the Ladies' second-half performance which infuriated Wilson.

"Leeds came here probably thinking they would get thrashed but instead they've defeated a team who are going to be in the Super League," said Wilson, whose side will take their place among the new eight-team division in the summer of 2011.

"We played well in the first half but in the second we were lacklustre and it was an embarrassment. We just didn't seem to have the energy.

"For Leeds, it's a big scalp but from our point of view it was a poor performance.

"In all fairness, on their second-half performance they deserved to win the match."
