In an end-to-end contest, RI took the lead with a fine volley, but Boro bounced back to level through Gracie McLaughlin. A clever flick from Alesha Grime on the stroke of half-time sent the hosts 2-1 up.

The second half was action-packed and RI deservedly levelled. Boro then started to press RI back and with three minutes to go, a strike from Jemima Chapman hit the underside of the bar and bounced to safety. With time running out, RI won a free-kick in the last minute, which was well saved by Maisie Greenhill only for RI to follow it in.

A minute into the second half the Reds scored their second, the Whites rallied but on 46 minutes Rangers hit a third and in the last five minutes the visitors scored two more to win 5-1.

Girl of the game Sophie Overfield battled all game, at times against three or four opponents.

Praise should also go to Macey Crane and Matilda Jordan for their ceaseless pressuring of Rangers, Elle Abell for her acrobatic and competent saves without which the Reds could have doubled their tally, plus Molly Lassey and Sophie Grey who were resolute and composed at the back.
