GLENS GO GOAL CRAZY AT ASHFIELD
Glentoran Women remain on top of the Danske Bank Women’s Premiership after a remarkable nine-goal victory over Linfield Ladies.
Kerry Beattie and Joely Andrews struck early for the Glens before a quickfire Jess Foy double, while Casey Howe was the star of the show with a 17-minute second half hat-trick.
The champions added an eighth via an own goal in the 66th minute while substitute Rachel Rogan scored a ninth in injury time to wrap up the stunning victory, with Linfield now defeated in nine of their last 10 games across all competitions.
Linfield were missing key players from their squad and were forced to make two first half substitutions due to injury but the young side showed resilience.
Former Blues star Howe was the star of the show as she grabbed a hat-trick within 20 minutes of the second half in addition to two assists during the match.
