It took a little while for Boro to get back into their rhythm but it was girl of the game McArthur who helped stage the comeback when she crossed for O’Hara to make the score 2-2 just before half-time and McArthur wasn’t done there she still had time to unleash a strike from the edge of the area which flew past the keeper to take Boro in front at half-time.

Boro started the second half more composed and straight on the front foot causing Holme many problems in defence.

And it was Elle Abell who was next on the scoresheet with a finish inside the area and after that it was all one-way traffic for Boro with O’Hara able to grab a brace to complete her hat-trick, the pick being a great team passing move for O'Hara to slot home. Anya Joy rounded off the scoring for Boro with a finish inside the area.
