Bluebirds and Cardinals were the first to serve up a tie when they ended 1-1.

The game sprung to life in the first minute of the second half when Maria Van De Mer put Cardinals ahead.

Storming back came the Bluebirds, mounting an onslaught of pressure about the Cardinals goal.

And their persistence eventually paid off when Sarah Smith connected with the equaliser.

In the day's other encounter a strong Canaries outfit found it tough against solid defensive work by Police Orioles.

They would draw 1-1 with Sandra MacDougall and Claudette Baisden scoring for Canaries and Police respectively.
