Stacey Aisthorpe at the double to seal second spot for OOH Lincoln Ladies

OOH Lincoln Ladies secured second place in the Women's Premier League Northern Division for the fourth year running on Thursday night with a 3-1 win at Curzon Ashton.

The result, earned thanks to a Stacey Aisthorpe double, has given Lady Imps boss Rod Wilson plenty to ponder as his side prepare to move up to the Super League next season.

"Which ever way you look at it, finishing second is quite an achievement," he said.

"To be fair, we probably haven't been as consistently good this season as we were last, despite the fact we've probably had the best team we've ever had.

"We were off the pace at the start of the campaign and lost to Liverpool twice when we should have done better."

"There may be a different looking Lincoln side next season and it will be very tough as the Super League will be contested between just eight teams and I know we are in direct competition with Arsenal for players."
