Redditch United Women's FC 5 Malvern Ladies 0
THE first friendly on ''home'' turf produced a convincing win.
After 12 minutes of equal play, Richardson side-stepped the Malvern goalkeeper to deliver her confidently placed first goal.
Play continued evenly with the away side thwarted by Redditch keeper Crow and a solid defence, until almost half time when Richardson, fed by a clever cross from Ellicott, struck her second above the keeper to place the ball firmly in the net.
The second half saw Ellicott's first goal, deflected in via the keeper and Richardson completed her hat-trick.
Ellicott secured an emphatic win for Redditch when scoring her second after a melee in the goalmouth bewildered the keeper.
