Katie Race scored SEVEN goals as the Blues followed up their tremendous 5-2 win at Bury last week with an 8-0 thrashing of Barr Hill Ladies at Dialstone Lane.

Tuesday Porritt opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a well placed shot then in the 37^th minute Katie Race scored the first of her seven goals, followed five minutes later by perhaps her best goal of the game, collecting the ball on the left she cut inside and along the penalty area before curling a shot over the keeper at the near post.

Katie then went on to score five more goals in what was a very good team performance with all the new young players settling in well.

There were some outstanding performances, especially from Lorna Brown and Jayde Malone.
