Norwich City Women beat Moneyfields on penalties to clinch promotion to the FA WNL Southern Premier Division.

Holly Kennard put the Canaries ahead from the edge of the box, and they doubled the lead after just 12 minutes when Lara Densley’s corner was headed in by Grace Riglar.

Ali Hall got one back for Moneyfields, then on the stroke of half-time Britt Jeal netted the equaliser.

With no addition to the scoring, the play-off required a penalty shoot-out to decide it, which Norwich eventually won 6-5 in sudden death.

While Kennard converted their sixth spot-kick, Sarah Quantrill’s save then decided the match.
