The Women’s National League Division One North match proved to be a close-fought one but Farah Crompton netted against her former club to earn all three points for the hosts.
Crompton’s 11th minute strike secured a third straight win for Halifax, who lie third in the table, only three points adrift of leaders Leeds United.
