Mallin double in Cup victory

-

done by Town’s midfield and particular­ly the pressing by Annabelle Cass in the final third.

As the half neared its end, Newcastle had a chance, when a whipped delivery was headed wide.

Kenyon made another top save to maintain Town’s lead, while Heckler went very close just before the break.

Katie Nutter hit a shot over the bar on 55 minutes, and three minutes later Heckler put a Cass cross just wide.

After a Mallin free-kick delivery caused problems, Heckler again went close, while nine minutes from time a cracking Cass strike was tipped on a post by the Newcastle keeper.

It wasn’t until five minutes from time that Town increased their lead, Heckler getting in down the left and supplying Mallin for an easy finish.

Pressure by second-half sub Hannah Campbell then led to confusion in the home defence and she was able to pounce to make it three, on 87 minutes.

Player of the match was Heckler for her tireless workrate and having a hand in all three goals.

On Sunday, Town’s first team are back in league action against last season’s champions, Blackburn Rovers (2pm at Shelley FC). ................................................................
