Ipswich Town Women's unbeaten start to the season continued with a 5-0 win against Lewes in Felixstowe this afternoon.

The Blues took the lead when Lucy O'Brien converted a penalty that was awarded for a foul on Angela Addison in the box. Lois Roche was shown a straight red for her remonstrations.

Joe Sheehan's side doubled their lead in the 42nd minute when Maisy Barker, having raced onto ball over the top from Megan Wearing, lifted the ball over the onrushing keeper before passing into the empty net.

Ipswich finally added a third in the 74th minute when Sophie Peskett’s cross was swept home by Addison.

The hosts then added two late goals. First, in the 89th minute, Peskett beat two players before calmly scoring. Then, deep into stoppage-time, sub Ella Rutherford saw a deflected shot find the net.

Town stay second in the table on goal difference after league leaders Exeter City came from 2-0 to win 3-2 at Gwalia United.

The Tractor Girls are next back in action on Sunday, September 22 at Gwalia United.
