FOOTBALL: Five-star Ilminster Town Ladies

4:10pm Wednesday 22nd February 2012 in Sport

ILMINSTER Town Ladies completed the double over a Bradford side, who they overcame 4-3 early in the New Year, with a 5-0 success.

Ilminster took the lead through an Aimee Rowe header before a great strike from Sarah Miller made it 2-0 at half time.

The home side dominated the early stages of the second half with some good football though Bradford never gave up and it took a good save from Abbi Bond to maintain the two goal cushion.

After a near miss for Bradford one end, Ilminsters prolific striker Alice Charlton came into the game and bagged herself a hat-trick, to add to the nine goals she scored the previous week in the cup.

The victory helps to keep the pressure on Keynsham at the top of the league.

Player of the match was Dana Andrews whose strong defending and determination kept Bradford’s strikers in check.
