Women’s Football | Harworth 1-6 Trinity

Wakefield Trinity LFC progressed through to the second qualifying round of the Vitality Women’s FA Cup with a scintillating 6-1 victory over Harworth Colliery.

Coming off the back of a hard-fought win over South Shields WFC the week prior, Trinity hoped to extend their rich vein of form with a cup victory.

With just 21 minutes on the clock, captain Emily Heckler continued her hot streak in front of goal as she nudged the ball beyond the Harworth goalkeeper.

With the attackers firing on all cylinders over recent weeks, the Trinity defence hasn’t seen much action, however, when the home side were awarded a dubious penalty just before the half-hour mark, Rosie Gresswell was equal to it, producing an outstanding save.

That save deemed to be decisive as Wakefield doubled their advantage before the interval, Neve Renwick slotting home following a superb assist from Liv Whitehead.

Wakefield continued their dominance after the break, adding two goals in 15 minutes. Whitehead and Renwick combining well for the former to slot home before Rambo Beckett headed home Danni Biglin’s 75^th-minute free-kick.

The away side were running rampant in Harworth and wasted no time in adding to their already favourable advantage.

Renwick cementing her hat-trick late on with a superb quick-fire double. The youngster smashed the ball off the underside of the crossbar before slotting home a delicious through ball.

It was the home side who finished the game’s scoring, however, as Harworth added a consolation late on.

But it was Trinity’s day as another fine performance saw them continue their outstanding league form into the cup competitions.
