Hat tricks by Lori Lappin and Catie Carter, two for under-16 player Courtney Grant and an Alena Gardiner goal made up the scoring.

Manager Mel Smith, who was in charge of the team for the last time said: “One proud day for the club, one proud manager. I am so proud of each and every player.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better squad, or ask for more.”
