Aimee Stratton (2), Sienna Creighton and Emilia Beevers gave the Rovers a commanding halftime lead before Stratton and Beevers two more and Alexandra Aldridge rounded off a perfect day for the hosts.

It was a great improvement for the Rovers side who are now unbeaten in two.

Kickoff:

Rovers were straight on the front foot and looked to quickly get control of the game from the first whistle. They look comfortable in possession and let the ball do the work.

On two successive efforts, Emilia Beevers and Aimee Stratton had the ball in the net but the assistant had his flag up on both occasions.

It didn’t take them long to break the deadlock as they scored on 10 minutes.

A neat build up from the back was worked through midfield and Tyler Wicks played in Aimee Stratton. The forward ran on through before rounding the goalkeeper and blasting the ball high into the middle of the goal.

Ten minutes later, they would double their lead.

Shaw found the run of Stratton down the left and played a neat ball through for the forward to run in behind. Stratton saw her shot well saved but Sienna Creighton lobbed the rebound in.

On 28 minutes, they would make it three when Emilia Beevers was played through and slotted in the right post to give her side a commanding lead.

Rovers weren’t done there and continued to attack and on 35 minutes they bagged their fourth when Stratton netted her brace with a neat finish.

Just before the break on 42 minutes, Emilia Beevers went close when she was put through on goal but the goalkeeper did well to push her effort over the bar.

Halftime: Rovers 4-0 Old Chelmsfordians

Rovers resumed business in the second half and it didn’t take them long to get going again as Aimee Stratton completed her hattrick ten minutes into the half.

Five minutes later, Emilia Beevers then netted her brace. Sorcha Farrell was played through and saw her close range effort saved before Beevers tapped in the rebound.

With twenty minutes to play, Stratton then added her fourth after good work from Sienna Creighton. The midfielder was played out wide and rounded several defenders before cutting the ball across goal for Stratton to tap in.

Five minutes later, Alex Aldridge then got on the score sheet before Emilia Beevers completed her hattrick when she was put through on goal to slot in.

The defence was hardly troubled all day as they kept their shape well. The team was well organised and marshalled well by their skipper Abbie Brogan and goalkeeper Lauren Zekai-Tabert.

Fulltime: Rovers 9-0 Old Chelmsfordians

A fine display by Louisa Jones and Ian Belcher’s side.
