Crawley Wasps 0-1 Cheltenham Town
The Robinesses came to the Big World Community Stadium having taken four points from their last two games in the FAWNL Southern Premier Division.
Izzy Cook showed intent in the first half, striking the post within ten minutes and then forcing Wasps goalkeeper Chrissie Wiggins to tip the effort onto the crossbar.
The half ended in controversy with the home side getting the ball into the net after Robinesses keeper Aimee Watson was down injured after a collision with her own defender.
Despite the referee not blowing the whistle, the game was restarted with a drop ball, much to the dismay of the home crowd.
Billie Haynes hit the woodwork for the third time in the game for Cheltenham as she struck the underside of the bar early in the second half.
The visitors got the goal they deserved through Henna Butcher as the attacker connected with a through-ball from Kylie Nolan and tapped past Wiggins to put her side ahead.
Wasps pushed in the final minutes to equalise, but Cheltenham held strong and restricted their chances to see out a 1-0 victory on the road.
The result puts the Robinesses in 6th and seven points away from relegation.
