Tractor Girls Hit Five at Plymouth - Ipswich Town News
Natasha Thomas scored twice and Sarah Brasero-Carreira, Bonnie Horwood and Anna Grey once each as Ipswich Town Women thrashed Plymouth Argyle 5-0 at Home Park for the second year running.
Brasero-Carreira gave the Blues the lead in the 39th minute with a strike from the edge of the area after Grey had laid the ball off to her.
And in first-half injury time, skipper Horwood made it two with a free-kick which left the Pilgrims keeper standing.
With nine minutes left on the clock, Thomas made it 3-0, flicking sub Sophie Peskett’s effort at goal.
The club’s all-time top scorer made it 4-0 with her second of the afternoon a minute into injury time when she followed up after a Peskett shot had been blocked and Grey completed the rout two minutes later from close range from a cross from the right.
The Tractor Girls remain fourth in the FA WNL Southern Premier Division.
Town: Quantrill, Boswell, Wearing (Evans 61), Lafayette, Hughes, Horwood (c), King, Grey, Brasero-Carreira (O’Brien 85), Biggs (Peskett 69), Thomas. Unused: Meollo, Godfrey. Att: 2,122.
