From that point on, the Wildcats maintained their intensity, adding goals at regular intervals and ensuring their dominance was reflected on the scoreline.
Player of the match Tash Hole led the way with a superb four-goal display, showing her sharpness in front of goal and clinical finishing.
Leah Morrell and Milly Howe both netted twice, underlining the strength in depth across the squad. Further strikes came from Emily Ayers, Grace Winter, and a brace from Robyn Stockman, rounding off an emphatic team performance.
What was most impressive was the Wildcats’ ability to combine attacking flair with relentless work rate. The midfield dictated the tempo throughout, while the defence remained organised and resolute, ensuring the home side were given very few chances.
