A strong performance at Maiden Castle ensured we made the perfect start to 2024 and our campaign in the prestigious competition.
Laura Coombs broke the deadlock with a well-taken volley in the seventh minute to reward the visitors’ strong start in the north east.
The hosts defended heroically for the majority of the first half, but Gareth Taylor’s side doubled our advantage before half-time when Jill Roord received the ball inside the box and fired an unstoppable shot into the top corner.
As the match grew, so did the Netherlands international’s influence on proceedings and she scored her second of the afternoon after the interval with a sublime chip over Durham’s Naoisha McAloon.
In the closing stages of the clash, Mary Fowler stamped her authority on proceedings after her introduction from the substitutes’ bench with her first goal of the season.
