FAWNL Division One South West
Swindon Town 6 Maidenhead United 0
With the FAWNL Cup and Plate fixtures taking precedence over the league games this week, only one league game survived and that was at the Nigel Eady County Ground in Swindon where they took on Maidenhead United. A 25 yard strike into the top corner from Jess Graham was all that separated the teams at the half time break with Macey-Nikiah Walters hitting the crossbar for the visitors.
The Robins forced the pace in the second half and added two quickfire goals around the hour mark with Poppy Dearlove and Katie Sherwood the scorers. That seemed to knock the stuffing out of the visitors and three further goals from Holly Beck-Esson (74), Annie Colston (87) and Taylor MacDonald (90) gave the hosts a comfortable win.
