Norwich Dragons look doomed to relegation from the Premier Division after blowing a two goal lead to lose 3-2 at bottom side Old Loughtonians.
With four teams going down they remain 12 points away from the safety mark - with only 12 points left to play for,
Dragons got off to a bright start on Saturday and a nicely placed pass from Stacey Lee put Hayley Toleman in a great position to slot home.
The visitors continued to create chances, culminating in a short corner which was coolly tucked away by Tabba Tabrett to make it 2-0.
Dragons then had a poor spell and Old Loughtonians made them pay, getting back on level terms before the break.

The visitors had most of the play in the second half but couldn't make it count and five minutes from time a long ball played right through the middle led to a winning goal for the hosts.
In Division One North Norwich City recorded an emphatic 4-1 victory at St Ives to stay one point behind second placed Bedford II with three matches left to play.
