We were held to a draw at Meadow Park, with Danielle van de Donk’s second-half strike cancelling out Lauren Hemp's opener.
The initial exchanges of the game were cagey, but we had the better of them. Just 10 minutes in, Jemma Rose came close to breaking the deadlock against her former club with a header on goal from a corner, but Bristol’s Sophie Baggaley was there to deny her.
A few minutes later we came close once again, when Vivianne Miedema nodded a ball down to Jordan Nobbs on the edge of the penalty area. The England midfielder took aim but struck the crossbar for the second game in a row.
