Sutton Coldfield Town 5-0 Worcester City

It was good to see such a large crowd at Coles Lane for this Christmas clash

Niamh Deasy opened the scoring on 17 minutes with a deflected free-kick, followed by Ally Forbes getting her trademark header on 20 minutes with a good delivery from Imogen Fisher

Worcester continued with stubborn resistance and good saves from their keeper

In the second-half Sutton stepped up a gear and on 54 minutes Niamh Deasy slotted home a great left-foot shot from just inside the box and completing her hat-trick two minutes later with a header into the far-left top-corner of the Worcester net

Worcester worked hard and never gave up, still trying to compete and create opportunities

The fifth goal came from Laura Fryer (Mush) in her 100th appearance with a left-foot strike on 78 minutes

Player-of-the-Match was midfield dynamo Sarah Lampitt who covered the whole pitch with her running and distribution

Other notable performances were from Sophie Levick and Niamh Deasy

Manager Andy Burman said "This was a well-managed performance by the Ladies who worked hard and scored some quality goals. Worcester worked hard and I was particularly impressed with their defender Lindsey Jones who was outstanding. COVID willing, we look forward to our visit to Worcester next Sunday"
