Needham Market’s hunt for a second Suffolk County Cup title was abruptly ended by holders AFC Sudbury in a humbling 8-0 defeat in the Portman Road finale. Being a couple divisions lower it was imperative they made a good start, but it only took two minutes for the national league side to lead through Jess Allan, and they never recovered with further goals from Amy-Leigh Abrehart and a Jade Barrett howitzer. Needham were again breached at the start of a half this time through

Needham Market ended their Eastern Regional league campaign with a battling 1-1 draw away at Toby FC. The conditions were like the ones faced in September’s FA Cup match up with a very dry and bobbly pitch making passing football very difficult and causing chaos as was the case with Ellie Emmerson’s opener. In a second period like the first, Needham hit back from the penalty spot thanks to Megan McCrae-Robinson as a draw seemed a fair result in a game of few chances. The play

Needham Market lost their final home match of the League campaign, losing 2-1 to Wormley Rovers. They had a few half chances but never created a big chance in the first period but the same could be said of Wormley but they took their moments from a curling strike by Emma Nolan and then a late penalty from Emily Schofield. Chances were again at a premium in the second, but Jae Lewis-Samuel did pull one back and had a golden chance to equalise as Needham almost salvaged a point

Needham Market had one of those bad days at the office performance as they were comfortably beaten 4-1 on the road at Colchester United. The first half didn’t see many chances, but Colchester were able to go into the break with a 2-0 lead thanks to Billie-Jo Williams and Lindsey Morgan. Megan Foord made it the worst possible start to the second period for Needham and if that didn’t kill the game then another for Williams before the hour mark did with Keira Topple scoring a co

Needham Market lost out to a heartbreaking stoppage time winner to be edged out 3-2 away at Chelmsford City after a performance that merited at least a point for their efforts. The first half saw their top scorer Zoe Rushen open the scoring early before a beautiful Esme Marsh equaliser had us deservedly level, but we were undone by a corner that led to Abi Clarke restoring the lead. Chloe Brame had looked to have claimed at least a point with a late goal, but it was heartbrea

Needham Market have made it three league wins in a row to start 2026 with a hard thought 3-1 victory over Colchester United at Bloomfields. They made a quick start and found themselves two to the good thanks Kiera Topple and Megan McCrae-Robinson but were pegged back before the break thanks to Daisy Canny. Danni Clarke was called upon to make sure the lead remained intact and seconds later top scorer Annie Posnett wrapped it up with a third and decisive goal to make sure the

Needham Market maintained their 100% record start to 2026 with a disciplined 3-0 home victory over Hertford Town. Unlike last week it took a while for Needham to get ahead in this one, but they duly did on the half hour mark thanks to Megan McCrae-Robinson, and she went on to add a second with the last kick of the half. Having that buffer meant it was more comfortable for the home side starting the second period and eventually top scorer Annie Posnett put the icing on the cak

Needham Market opened 2026 with a massive bang as they hammered Stanway Pegasus 10-1 in their first fixture of the new year. They raced into an early 4-0 lead within 15 minutes thanks to a Annie Posnett double, Chloe Brame and Keira Topple before Ali Croucher pulled one back for the home side withTopple adding her second to give the visitors a commanding 5-1 lead at the break. And there was no let-up in the second period as Posnett completed her hat-trick and added a quick fi

Needham Market have bounced back to winning ways in the league after a 2-0 victory over lowly Southend United on a horrible winter’s day in Essex. Chloe Brame opened the scoring in the first half as Needham missed a few big chances to extend the lead at the break and then after, before a late Jae Lewis-Samuel goal to make sureall the points returned to Suffolk. The opening 10 minutes saw very little on a heavy pitch with the rain coming down but it was the visitors that threa

Needham Market valiantly bowed out of the Eastern Regional League Cup 4-3 in a scintillating match against Premier Division Harpenden Town. It was a beautifully sunny but cold winters day in Hertfordshire and the home side twice led through Amana Oguntuga and Nancy Tucker in the first period with Anna Sullivan levelling for visitors. Again, Needham hit back through Megan McCrae-Robinson but the home side went back in front thanks to Jaime Curtainbefore late drama that saw Ade

Needham Market have suffered back-to-back league defeats at home after succumbing to league leaders Hastag United Reserves 6-2 on a chilly day in Suffolk. Hastag took an early lead straight from a corner and then doubled it through Kasey Keen before Needham missed two golden opportunities as Laura Bloomfield failed to convert two penalties, Chelise Fleming made it three at the break. They added a fourth early on from Motunrayo Ojobaro before a late come back from Needham thro

The Suffolk honours remained with Needham Market after an extraordinary 7-4 victory away at Brantham Athletic. In a crazy first half the home side raced into a 4-1 lead thanks to Ella Long, Emmi Bennett and a double from Ellis Rabey but braces for Annie Posnett and Megan McCrae-Robinson made it a staggering 4-4 scoreline at the break. Keira Topple gave Needham the lead for the first time early in the second period before Posnett completed her hat trick with another unfortunat

Needham Market have progressed to the third round of the Eastern Regional League Cup with a comfortable 2-1 victory of Mulbarton Wanderers at Bloomfields. The scoreline suggested a tight game but it was a comfortable win for the home side, who rarely faced any peril and missed plenty of chances throughout. Annie Posnett opened the scoring in the first half and Needham looked like they would have a comfortable day, butthey spurned several chances and that saw them pay when Reb
