Trinity LFC 7-0 Barnsley Women Reserves

Wakefield Trinity LFC ended their pre-season on a high as they thrashed Barnsley Women Reserves 7-0 in a last-minute friendly.

After a tentative start from both sides, Trinity grew into the game, asserting some early pressure onto their South Yorkshire opponents.

With just 12 minutes on the clock, it was Trinity who opened the scoring, Neve Renwick nudged the ball underneath the Barnsley goalkeeper to give Wakefield the lead at the break.

A nip and tuck half was the only way to explain the first period, however, Trinity LFC wasted no time after the interval.

Two quickfire goals from Emily Heckler added to the away side’s advantage. The captain heading the ball over the Barnsley ‘keeper before driving home her second and Trinity’s third.

Wakefield was on fire and with the game now open, Heckler completed her hat-trick. The centre-midfielder nodding home from close-range to give Wakefield complete control.

Despite their large advantage, there was no let-up from the visitors as Renwick saw her opportunity to follow in her captain’s footsteps.

The forward stroked the ball home after a beautifully-timed through ball before she capitalised on a mix up in the home defence to rifle home.

There was still time for Heckler to add her fourth, however, as she finished off Walker’s pass to complete a resounding victory.
