MATCH BALL FOR BEATTIE AS GLENS GO TOP
Glentoran Women moved back to the summit following a 7-1 defeat of Derry City Women at the Blanchflower Stadium, with Kerry Beattie helping herself to a hat-trick along the way.
She opened the scoring for the defending champions from the edge of the area after just seven minutes, with Chloe McCarron doubling up a few moments later.
Beattie struck again with just under a quarter-of-an-hour on the clock, before Joely Andrews knocked home a fourth ten minutes after that.
Emily Wilson got in on the act in the latter stages of the first half with Beattie then popping up early in the second period to lay claim to the match ball.
Wilson then added to the scoreline on the hour with a stunning strike while the Candystripes bagged a stoppage time consolation through Chelsea Scott.
