Right from the first whistle, the girls moved the ball with purpose and connected brilliantly as a unit. Their improved structure and communication were clear to see, and the pressure they applied paid off quickly.
Emily H delivered a standout performance, securing a superb hat-trick through a combination of sharp finishing and clever movement in the circle. Sophia B added another well-worked goal after some excellent build-up play, and Charlotte M completed the scoring with a composed strike to make it 5–0.
At the other end, the defensive line was outstanding—disciplined, organised, and resilient—ensuring Tormead were kept out throughout the match. The clean sheet was a well-deserved reward for their collective efforts.
This 5–0 victory not only highlights the team’s technical and tactical development but also reflects their growing belief and togetherness. An excellent performance and a testament to how hard the girls have worked since the start of the season.
