Chester Ladies 2nd 0-6 Winnington Park Ladies

JAZ Barlow scored four goals when Winnington Park Ladies put behind them a defeat seven days earlier in stunning fashion.

She broke the deadlock midway through the first-half before Helen Fowler applied the finishing touch to a collective move to double the visitors’ lead.

Barlow sent a penalty flick inches past a post after a defender had blocked with a foot on the goal-line but made amends when she netted at the end of a counter-attack early in the second-half.

Fowler made it 4-0 before Barlow completed a hat-trick.

She took a second chance to convert a penalty flick too, neatly tucking the ball away to add a final flourish.

FORTUNE favoured the visitors to Northwich, who pinched maximum points when a deflected shot deceived Winnington’s stand-in goalkeeper Emma Turley.

The home team had taken the lead at Grange School when Eileen Miller converted a penalty flick before an injury to net-minder Maizey Hudson prompted a reshuffle.

Chester restored parity after changing formation early in the second-half, converting from a short-corner.

They applied pressure to a Park defence in which both Beth Preston and Lottie Acton stayed solid before Miller too succumbed to an injury.

Turley then had no chance of adjusting to stop a shot that struck a Park player before finding the net.
