Crystal Palace Women's manager Dean Davenport has thanked the fans after a new record crowd at Selhurst Park against south London rivals Charlton Athletic.
The Eagles welcomed the Addicks to SE25 for an FA Women's Championship clash yesterday (Sunday), with 1,969 fans in attendance at Selhurst Park, which was a new record attendance for Palace Women.
The game ended 2-1 to Charlton Athletic, after a Emily Simpkins penalty and a Melissa Johnson strike on the stroke of half time made it 2-0 to the visitors in the first half. Felicity Gibbons halved the deficit midway through the second half, but Palace were unable to force an equaliser.
