Minehead Ladies triumphed over Taunton Vale 4s with a 5-0 victory.

The local rivals clashed last Saturday in front of a large crowd.

The match began cautiously, with both teams finding their footing after the half term break.

Minehead's early attempts to score were thwarted, as were similar advances by Vale's young forwards.

The deadlock was broken when Cape netted a goal after her initial shot hit the post, leaving the score at 1-0 to the hosts by half time.

A pep talk from coach Andrew Speed appeared to reinvigorate Minehead, who returned to the field with renewed determination.

Tisshaw lifted a ball neatly past the Vale keeper following a short corner, doubling Minehead's lead.

Cape was on target again, scoring her second goal after some slick passing around the D.

A goal-line scramble saw Lancaster increase the lead to 4-0.

The final quarter of the game calmed down until Minehead secured their last short corner, where Cape completed her hat-trick with a powerful shot through the keeper's legs.

The final score rested at 5-0 in favour of Minehead.

The Kildare Lodge Hotel Player of the Match award was given to Zoey Cape.
