GLENS BLAST RANGERS WITH STATEMENT VICTORY
The Glens top the table thanks to an emphatic 7-1 defeat of Lisburn Rangers who, themselves, had gone into the game with a 100% record.
However something had to give at Crewe Park, and it was visitors who seized the early advantage when Kerry Beattie sent a exquisitely executed effort into the top right corner with just over ten minutes on the clock.
Beattie struck again not long after the break, this time from the spot after Joely Andrews had been upended in the box, before Emily Wilson added a third just short of the hour with a low finish across the face of goal.
Demi Vance increased Glentoran’s lead midway through the second half following a mix-up at the back, and whilst Ellie-Mae Dickson did pull one back for Rangers late goals from Aimee Kerr, Rachel Rogan and Kascie Weir well and truly put the issue beyond doubt.
