MATCH REPORT – MOUSEHOLE WOMEN vs WADEBRIDGE LADIES

MOUSEHOLE WOMEN 11 – 0 WADEBRIDGE LADIES

CORNWALL WOMEN’S LEAGUE

SUNDAY 11TH NOVEMBER 2017, AT TRUNGLE PARC

 100% RECORD FOR MOUSEHOLE WOMEN AFTER DOMINANT WIN

 Mousehole continued their outstanding start to the Cornwall Women’s League season with a sixth straight victory to remain in second place, three points behind St Agnes with two games in hand.

Wadebridge came into the match with only one win to their name and were shown no mercy on a wind-swept afternoon by the powerful hosts, who are the only unbeaten side in the league.

Jo Barker opened the scoring on 20 minutes, heading home Sophie Wilson’s left-wing cross from six yards.  Five minutes later it was 2-0 when Katy Barker’s inswinging corner was helped into the roof of the net by a defender.  A great move involving a superb one-two involving Emily Hardaker put Katy Barker in the clear down the right and her low cross was converted by Jo Barker at the far post for 3-0 on 35 minutes.  A minute later, after clever work on the left of the penalty area, Carly Jacka crossed low for Jo Barker to back-heel the ball into Tamara de Silva’s path for 4-0.  After 42 minutes, the fifth goal came as Sophie Wilson’s right-sided corner was tapped in by Leena Mannon from close range.

Mousehole continued to play the ball from the back with all members of the team involved, but the first notable action of the second half saw Lyndsey Mayers in the home goal injure herself after sticking out a foot to block a driven 54th minute penalty, awarded after a rare defensive mix-up.  Back came Mousehole, and Emily Hardaker grabbed the sixth goal on 64 minutes, running through the defence to slot a low shot into the far corner, and did the same on 71 minutes.  Two minutes later she put Sophie Wilson in for a shot inside the far post for 8-0.  Katy Barker at last got on the scoresheet running past the overworked defence on to a pass from Sophie Wilson on 81 minutes, and two minutes later it was double figures when Megan Davidson’s shot hit the bar and Emily Hardaker pounced for a 19-minute hat-trick.  Sophie Wilson completed the scoring in the 88th minute, siding a precise shot into the far corner after neat build-up play by Tamara de Silva.

Overall, the scoreline could have been even more emphatic but for the sterling efforts of the frequently exposed Wadebridge goalkeeper and the home side’s wasteful finishing, but manager Dawn Bateman will be pleased with the way her team retrieved and kept the ball and the fact that there were six different scorers on the day.

Mousehole Women:  (starting line-up)  Lyndsey Mayers, Leena Mannon, Lucy Brown, Lyndsey Williams (captain), Tamara de Silva, Sophie Wilson, Carly Jacka, Scarlett Clouter, Emily Hardaker, Katy Barker, Jo Barker.  Substitutes (all used):  Megan Davidson, Megan Edwards, Becky Edwards, Stacey George.
