Both Hannah McWilliams and Jasmine Saxton netted four goals and Holly Housley bagged a hat trick in Ciaran Toner’s first game in charge of the Belles.

Goals from Lauren Breen and Jess Tugby-Andrew completed the scoring in a tie which as expected, given the relative standings of the two teams, was always going to be very one-sided.

Rossington Main had a walk over in their tie against Mexborough Athletic and they now face the daunting task of a visit to holders Huddersfield Town.

Belles’ next competitive action is scheduled for Sunday, December 3, when they host unbeaten Barnsley at Thorne Colliery’s Iqbal Poultry Stadium. Barnsley currently top the FAWNL Division One North table with 22 points from eight games.

Belles are currently three points and two places above the two relegation places.
