DROITWICH Spa Ladies are through to the semi-finals of the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Women’s County Cup following a crushing 16-0 defeat of Welland Ladies on Sunday.

From the outset, Droitwich dominated possession and territory, creating numerous chances in the first 15 minutes before April Polden opened the scoring, following a through ball from centre-half Lucy Boswell.

Polden completed a first half hat-trick, as did fellow striker Katie Armento. Beth Roberts added two goals and Hannah Maiden completed the first half scorers to give Droitwich an impressive 9-0 lead at the interval.

In the second half, Spa did not relinquish the pressure on their opponents and again laid siege to the Welland goal.

Polden added another from the spot before Boswell scored directly from a beautifully taken free kick. Droitwich added a further five goals – another one for Polden and four for Armento – giving the Spa strikers five and seven for the game respectively.

Droitwich will now face Malvern Town on January 18 for a place in the final.
