Lewis then provided Hart with a chance to double the lead.
Jonny Harrison's dribbling out of defence along with his passing was initiating many moves.

There was an element of fortune with Wildcats' second goal early in the second-half.
A long throw from Georgia Howells took the faintest of deflections off Chloe Deam before rolling into the goal.
Loach played a neat one-two with Howells before hitting a rasping shot that was brilliantly parried by the keeper but Alps was on hand to fire home the rebound.
Ferndale came more into the game in the latter stages but Wildcats keeper Lexie Palmer was quick off her line to snuff out any danger.
Girl-of-the-match Alps completed her hat-trick with a poacher's finish.
