Western hold Wanderers
The low scoring in the confrontation was due to a combination of missed chances, particularly by Western, and some brilliant goalkeeping by Wanderers' Carmin Dow and Amy Gibson for the Glasgow outfit.
After early spurned chances by both sides, Western put their noses in front when Angela Davie scored from open play. But within two minutes Bunce struck from the spot to bring the scores level. As the first half came to a close Western's Karen Thomson was sent to the sin bin and Wanderers missed an overtime set piece.
