Willenhall faced a young and new look Dudley side who were not to be taken lightly as they sat 3rd in the league and had already taken the scalp of Coleshill.

Willenhall had the wind against them in the opening stages, but this didn't stop them creating chances. White shot wide on 15 minutes.

A quality pass from Culloty found White but her touch let her down and it went out for a goal kick.

Willenhall took the lead on 19 minutes when Leila Hopkins pass to Riley produced an low hard shot which was pushed into the path off Culloty who had made an excellent run into the box and finished clinically for her first goal for the club. 1-0

Rachel Kinsis made it 2-0 on 21 minutes with a spectacular 25 yard effort.

Willenhall had Dudley on the back foot with there only threat coming from there no.9, but Boon had her well marshalled.

On 28 minutes Hopkins was brought down. White stepped up to take the resulting free-kick from 30 yards. She curled the free-kick left footed over the Dudley wall, it hit the underside of the bar and came down over the line. The Dudley keeper thought she had saved it on the line but much to their disgust the referee said it had crossed the line and awarded a goal.
3-0.

Dudley seemed to be unsettled by previous goal and Willenhall quickly took advantage to extend there lead before half-time.

Stacey Parkes picked the ball up in her own half and spotted Jo Byrne free on the edge of Dudleys box. She floated an inch perfect ball to Byrne who bravely challenged with the defender and as the keeper rushed out, curled a left footed shot into the net. 4-0.

Half-time.

With Dudley not giving Nicholas a shot to save in the first half Willenhall were prepared for an onslaught from the visitors in the second half.

Willenhall dug deep and carried on the excellent display they had put on in the first half and worked hard to stop Dudley doing anything.

Kinsis had a freekick pushed away for a corner on 50 minutes, and again the keeper saved from Kinsis a minute later. Dudleys keeper was putting on a impressive display and seemed determined to keep a clean sheet in the second half.

Willenhall kept looking for another goal and Hopkins shot went just wide on 55 minutes.
Stacey Parkes nearly scored the goal of the century with a 40yard rocket of a shot that just went wide.

Dudley had managed to keep goalscoring sensation Abi Riley relatively quite with some no nonsense defending. On 65 minute Willenhall were awarded a corner and the ball fell to Riley 6 yards out. She doesn't miss from there and Willenhall were 5-0 to the good.

On 81 minutes Plant came on for Culloty and nearly scored with her fist touch.

Just before full-time Kinsis switched play from the left and sent a floated pass to Byrne on the edge of the box. Looking for the spectacular Byrne tried to take it on the volley but miss kicked. She had a second bite but smashed her shot against the cross bar with the keeper beat. The ball cannoned off the cross bar to White who also tried a spectacular attempt at goal with a bicycle kick, again with little success.

Byrne and White both decided they were to old for the spectacular with White nursing a sore leg, and Byrne nursing a red face....haha.

That was the final action of the game.

Full-time 5-0
