With six players misssing from the team that won promotion convincingly 12 months ago, it was always likely to be an uphill battle for Magpies and they found themselves 3-0 down against Trojans in their opening match. Angie Wheelhouse led a fightback with two late goals but Magpies could not find an equaliser.

In their second game Magpies lost 3-0 to Sutton Coldfield despite a much improved performance.

On Sunday Wheelhouse gave Magpies the lead against Slough, but they went on to lose 5-1.

The final match saw Magpies slide to a 5-0 defeat against Canterbury.

The Premier League Indoor returns on January 7 and 8 when Magpies play Reading, Leicester, Clifton and Bowdon Hightown.
