The Belles started with a different formation, Jasmine Hall given an opportunity up-front,with Jade Mansfield playing on the right of midfield and Kerry Stratton in the centre. As expected the Belles were soon on top, with Chloe Barnes making a break from half-way and as she bore down on goal, the flag was raised for a debatable offside. Jade Mansfield headed a ball through to Lauren Bruton, who placed the ball wide of the keeper, but against the post. Chloe then curled a shot a foot wide of the post after a good run down the left. Livi Robinson played a clever ball through the middle of Charlton's back-line, Lauren picked it up and her shot was parried by the keeper, only for Chloe to pounce on the loose ball, which she swept home despite the efforts of the last defemder. 1-0. Kerry Stratton then played in Jasmine with a diagonal ball, who tried a shot which appeared to be rolling wide, until Lauren turned it against the post. The ball rolled across the goalmouth where Chloe, once again, raced in to lash the ball in. 2-0. Lauren, from a deep position, then swept a ball inside to Jasmine in space, but she ran and shot just wide. Robyn Wilfort was then introduced on the left and was at the centre of a period of improved passing football. Lauren got on the end of one such move, but her shot from close in was palmed on to the post by the keeper. Alice O'Shea then connected sweetly with a loose ball from over 25 yards out and the ball sailed over the keeper for a spectacular goal. 3-0. A good short-corner routine between Chloe and Kelly, to tee-up Jade McEntaggart who drove in a shot into the crowded area, which was deflected wide. The final action of the half saw a superb ball from Lauren to Jasmine, who shot wide with the keeper coming out to narrow the angle.

Half-time

Alice set Jasmine away down the right flank, who crossed into the box, where the keeper did well to save at Lauren's feet. Jasmine then broke free down the middle and lifted her shot just over the keeper and the bar. Yasmin Hickling then got her first taste of the action when Lauren played another dangerous ball through the middle, but she was inches wide with her shot. Lauren then got beyond the defence and although the keeper did well to get a strong hand to her shot, the ball dipped under the bar for a well-deserved goal. 4-0. Jasmine then delivered a high cross for Livi, who had stole forward, to glance in a header into the far corner. 5-0. Yasmin then broke through the middle and shaped to shoot before setting up Lauren who turned the ball neatly inside the near post. 6-0. Yasmin then went on a run down the right and cut the ball across to Lauren in the box, who spun and shot, but the keeper was well-placed to save. Lauren then broke free from the half-way line and this time slid the ball into the corner for her hat-trick. 7-0. Kerry pushed forward from midfield towards the end and had a shot from distance that went wide and Claudia Hutton turned a good cross from Livi just wide. The visitors managed to raise a late attack which Jade Mansfield did well to shield for Sian Hall to gather in goal.
