Report | Swansea City Women 10 Limerick Women 1

Swansea City Women’s pre-season schedule continued with an emphatic win over Irish side Limerick Women.

There was a brace for Aimee Deacon, plus further strikes from Robyn Pinder, Maddy Murray, Stacey John-Davis, Kelsey Thomas, Katy Hosford and two trialists at Landore.

Murray broke the deadlock early on when John-Davis’ low cross found the midfielder to allow her to finish from close range.

Just seven minutes later it was 20, Pinder volleyed home at the back post after a great ball from Trialist A had picked her out.

The trialist would go from provider to scorer, a great ball from skipper Hosford giving her a simple finish.

The goals kept coming, Deacon getting in on the act after Sammy Wynne's pass had teed up Pinder to slide the ball across for the 16-year-old to convert.

Deacon's second arrived just eight minutes later, Murray sending her through on goal to dispatch a low strike into the net.

The Swans dominance continued early in the second half, the lively Deacon was brought down in the box and John-Davis stepped up to the spot to convert make it 6-0.

Limerick would pull one back, a stunning free-kick from range giving keeper Opal Rayner no chance.

But Swansea quickly responded as Trialist B got on the scoresheet by arrowing a strike across the keeper after being found in space by Wynne's pass.

Thomas would make it 8-0, Trialist B was the provider with a great through ball, and Thomas had the time to compose herself and find the bottom corner.

Deacon then burst through on goal before sliding a low ball across to Trialist B for her second goal of the afternoon.

Hosford had the final word late on, a ball was pulled back to her on the edge of the box and the forward fired a firm strike into the bottom corner.
