The WSL season got off to a flying start as a sell out crowd turned up to watch Arsenal beat Brighton 4-0 at Meadow Park.
Fears that the enthusiasm for women's football built up after England's success in the Euros might be dampened by the cancellation of last weekend's opening round of fixtures following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II were drowned out long before kick as supporters packed all four corners of the ground in Boreham Wood.
The car park outside the stadium was filled well over an hour before kick off with some fans even stating that they had got there early for fear of not being able to get a seat with demand so high.
