Cheatley raced through again ten minutes later, rounding the goalkeeper, only to be brought down and awarded a penalty. James stepped up and decisively scored from the spot.

The remainder of the first half followed in similar finish with Cheatley getting her tally up to 6 for the game, James grabbing another and Lavana Neufville scoring also.
