Both Barclays Scottish Women’s Football leagues have new leaders after a return to action which saw the weather disrupt the previous table-toppers momentum.

In the Barclays Scottish Women’s Championship, Inverness Caledonian Thistle are top for the first time after a 2-1 away victory against Morton, with East Fife’s trip to Aberdeenshire to face Westdyke frozen off.

Similarly, in the Barclays Scottish Women’s League One, Bonnyrigg Rose saw off title rivals St Mirren to go top after Armadale Thistle’s match against Airdrie was also postponed.

The Championship saw no other changes, with third placed Stirling University and fourth-placed Glasgow Women both picking up wins against Forfar Farmington and Stenhousemuir respectively, while Falkirk in fifth were held to a 1-1 draw by Dryburgh in Dundee, who rescued a point thanks to a late Klara Brady penalty. Renfrew versus Hutchison Vale was also called off.

League One tightened, with Edinburgh Caledonia beating fourth-placed Inverurie Locos 3-1 at Meadowbank, Queen of the South running out 5-0 winners at Dundee West and Kilwinning picking up their second win of the season with a sensational comeback from 3-1 down against Dunipace to win 4-3, thanks to a Molly Bradley hat-trick.

Next week will see the regional SWFL divisions return to action with a full card of fixtures across the country.
