Dale Women were beaten 2-1 by Boltonians Ladies AFC in the Greater Manchester Women’s Football League Premier Division on Sunday.
Jodie Cocker scored Dale's only goal of the game, but an own goal and a last minute winner saw Lee Atkinson's side defeated for the first time in four games.
They play their final league match of the season on Tuesday night, away to West Didsbury & Chorlton Women Reserves.
Dale then play two cups finals in quick succession, on Sunday and Wednesday, to round off their season.
