Albion Women were beaten 1-3 by Wolves on Thursday evening despite a spirited showing at The Hawthorns.
A rainy night began brightly for the Baggies - who made history when Maria Timms curled a fantastic effort home inside the opening 10 minutes.
The goal was the first ever scored in a women’s Black Country derby at The Hawthorns, delighting many of the 1,275 in attendance.
But Wolves turned things around before half-time, Destiney Toussaint’s brace adding to Beth Roberts’ equaliser - ensuring they had a two-goal lead going into the break.
And neither side could add to their tally in a quieter second period, with Wolves running out winners in B71.
The teams meet again this Sunday for a County Cup semi-final at Hednesford’s Keys Park Stadium. Ticket & travel details for that one can be found here.
