started strongly and dominated play from the outset. They took the lead early on through a well-placed penalty corner from Maddie Axford (29'), who continued her fine form this season.

Homann scored from a penalty corner, giving Nottingham a comfortable 2-0 lead. Despite being two goals down, Buckingham refused to give up and battled hard to find a way back into the game.

then added another goal to her tally in the 60th minute to seal a comfortable 4-0 victory for Nottingham. This win secures Nottingham's place in Phase 3, a remarkable achievement for

the team in their first season in the top flight of English women's hockey. They will now face some of the best teams in the country as they look to make their mark in the League

Finals. Buckingham, on the other hand, will have to settle for a place in the relegation playoffs, where they will face a tough battle to avoid relegation to Division 1.
