This wasn't Albion's only victory over the weekend.

On Sunday 13 October, Wilmslow Albion women cruised to victory over Ashton Pumas to maintain their 100 per cent record and move to the top of the league.

The first goal came from the penalty spot after Liv Bradshaw was fouled in the area by the home side keeper, who had to be replaced due to injury. Liv picked herself up and made no mistake from the spot.

Albion gradually took control, and came close when Maia Lewis's corner hit the post. Another chance went awry when Llewellyn's delightful through ball fell to Genelle Walker, but her shot pinged off the bar.

Further keeper troubles hampered Pumas, as Bradshaw again broke through the offside trap in first half injury time.

They had to wait till just before the half time whistle to extend their lead though, a shot from distance from Lewis doubling their lead.

Keen to keep up the intensity, Albion made a strong start to the second half, with Jess Bradshaw first scoring with a shot which squirmed through the keeper, then rounding the keeper to score her second to make it 4-0.

An opportunistic shot from distance saw Lewis score her second, before she made it six with a free kick from 25 yards which evaded everyone and sneaked it at the far post - that sealed her hattrick. Walker had another shot saved, but made no mistake with the rebound to make it seven, before Liv Bradshaw finished off the scoring to make it 8-0.

A comfortable win against determined opposition, and a first clean sheet of the season for the team who move on to Cheshire Cup action next week away at Nantwich Town Ladies.
