Player of the match:
Erin Bloomfield – who showed a great attitude and work rate to be a constant attacking threat and did so exceptionally well. Her reward was scoring a hat trick against a well organised SGS defence. She also did well defensively to press and recover to make it difficult for SGS to play out from the back. Team mates were aware of the runs she was making and they can also take huge credit for the performance.
