BLUES KICK-OFF CAMPAIGN IN STYLE
Linfield produced a storming second half performance to sweep past Lisburn Ladies at the Bluebell Stadium.
Cora Chambers had edged the Blues in front a few minutes from the interval, but the real damage was done after the break.
Eve Reilly doubled Linfield’s lead on 48 minutes, with Chambers then hitting two goals in seven minutes to bag her hat-trick.
That was how it stayed until the closing moments when Bernadette Ferreira knocked home two goals in as many minutes with Reilly then doubling her own tally in stoppage time.
