Comfortable win today. Not to be confused with easy as Ashford came with a defensive game plan with 5 across the back. Our girls kept the ball well when there was nothing on with a solid performance which produced 4 quality goals.
In the absence of the scoreboard and taking into account we rarely kick-off on time, I may be slightly off target with the goal times.
The opening goal on 25 mins was the goal of the game scored by my player of the match. Amy Russ hit a sublime shot from just outside the box into the bottom righthand corner, leaving the keeper with no chance.
On 31 mins she was at it again, this time turning provider with a delightful through ball to Teni who finished the move with another well taken shot into the left corner.
The second half saw Amy score her second on 51 firing in from the rebound off the post to make it 3-0.
From then on it was damage limitation for Ashford for whome I swear then went to 6 at the back, limiting our chances of further reaching the target.
But they didn't reckon on the skills of supersub Sarah Hill. I was very impressed with how quickly she turns on the ball with her back to goal. The second time she did it she scored with cracking volley with minutes left on the clock for 4-0. It was almost as good as Amy's first which just nicked it for me. In the 67th minute it was great to see Beth Powell back in action after her sending off 3 weeks ago.
Anyone taking a Millwall player out deserves a medal and I hope to present her with one at the end of the season.
