Badsey 7,

Worcester Norton IV 0

FOLLOWING the previous week's defeat at Stourport, Badsey bounced back in style with a comprehensive demolition of a young Worcester side.

Forwards Lynn Ellarby, Zoe Hodgkins and Angela Heath combined well to provide the early pressure, well supported by strong running from midfielders Shelley Banner, Sarah Turner and Laura Moore.

The first goal arrived soon after the start when a ball across the face of the goal found Banner lurking at the back post.

Badsey went further ahead before half-time when Jane Rickey netted from a short corner strike.

Worcester played themselves back into the game in the second half via their speedy wingers but Rickey, Caroline Gorner, Karen Moore and Jo Abbotts dealt comfortably with the challenge while goalkeeper Rachel Leeming enjoyed a quiet afternoon for a change!

Ellarby's third goal opened up the floodgates and a succession of fine runs down the right from player of the match Heath caused increasing panic in the visiting defence.

Her efforts helped Hodgkins net her first of the season in style before two more from Ellarby and another for Hodg-kins capped a good team display.

Badsey travel to Malvern for their next game on Saturday.
