After an uneventful first 10 minutes all of a sudden the Ewes sprung into life. A sweeping move from box the box involving several Derby players ending up at the feet of Megan who scored from the narrowest of angles to give the Ewes a well deserved 1-0 lead.

This was the catalyst for greater things to come as the Ewes quick tempo pressing game was now in full flow and it was no surprise when on 20 minutes a super strike from Millie made 2-0 notching up her 7th goal of the season. The Ewes were now starting to enjoy themselves as Sherwoods heads visibly dropped and on the half-hour Millie made it 3-0 to the hosts with a wonderful solo effort. Several other opportunities went begging before half time and somehow the score remained 3-0 at the interval.

The interval did not disrupt the Ewes excellent display which even attracted spectators from a neighbouring pitch who appreciated very much the way the girls were now performing. With chances a many it wasn't until the 55th minute before the Ewes added to the scoreline with Millie notching up her second hat-trick of the season making it what was now an unassailable 4-0 lead. Exhibition football was now on show from Ewes and with 8 minutes left on the clock A much deserved goal from skipper Jessica made it 5-0. This is how the game finished but the stats say it all - Derby 19 shots, 11 on target, 5 goals, Sherwood 1 shot 1 shot on target 0 goals.

This was no disgrace for a hard-working Sherwood team it was just that on the day Derby were unplayable at times. Individually and collectively the Ewes were superb
