MATCH REPORT: Warrington Wolves 1 - 5 Chester FC Women

The Blues won 5-1 for the second successive week, this time back in league action, making it six victories in a row in the process.

Molly Wood was once again in the hat-trick groove, with her second half treble capping off another successful afternoon for the Blues who moved up to fourth in the North West Womens Regional League Division One South.

Just four minutes after the break, the lead was strengthened. Gray went from provider to scorer, pouncing after Kim Sands had initially struck the crossbar, tapping home from close range.

However just two minutes later Warrington were back in the game, scoring to half the deficit.

Nevertheless though, in form Wood was on a roll once again and sealed the victory with a devastating 14 minute hat-trick.
