RANGERS ON FIRE AT STANGMORE
Lisburn Rangers stormed to a crushing defeat of Mid Ulster Ladies at Stangmore Park.
Gracie Conway got Rangers off to a flying start with two goals in the opening five minutes, the first a header at the near post which she followed up with a composed finish after turning a defender and slotting home.
Molly Loughran added a third on ten minutes with a lofted finish from well outside the area before, four minutes after that, Conway bagged her hat-trick at the right post.
The scoring continued on 16 minutes when Helen Parker got her name on the scoresheet with a low driven finish from outside the area before, midway through the first half, Sophie Megaw added number six after a free-kick was knocked into her path on the edge of the box.
Mid Ulster were reduced to ten players eight minutes from the break when Teah Morton was dismissed for unsporting behaviour.
Substitute Cara Tumelty added to Rangers' tally on the hour with a great strike from around 22 yards before Ellie-Mae Dickson capped a great night with two goals in the closing stages.
Her first, an 80th minute strike from just outside the six yard box, was followed up right at the end of normal time after she pounced on a poor backpass to roll the ball over the line.
