Denham 0:6 QPR Ladies
QPR Ladies continued their winning start to pre-season with a resounding victory over Denham United who were promoted into the division below our Ladies for the coming season after storming to the title and promotion.
The Rs started with a 4-5-1 formation but switched between that and 4-4-2 throughout the game. The match started fairly slowly with both teams feeling each other out but after a good 15 minutes or so we began to dominate and take control.
The height of Carla Williams and Malin Engman was a cause of concern and the superb deliveries from wide areas from Suzanne eventually paid off as Tanya was on hand to put us 1-0 up. Suzanne was the provider again shortly before half-time with another great cross which Mel Bidewell headed home at the back post.
Despite the 2-0 advantage we were a little congested throughout the opening 45 minutes and the players heeded advice from the coaching staff to spread the play. Simone Dwyer was the catalyst for much of the good work that proceeded and in the next 45 minutes we created a host of chances.
Carla Williams struck for 3-0 and finished a lovely passing move and then Tanya got her second for 4-0 with a header from another Suzanne cross. Mel Bidewell struck from the edge of the area after a good run at goal for her second to make it 5-0 and Malin wrapped up the win with a thumping turn and shot from almost 30 yards to seal an impressive 6-0 win.
Line Up: Jess, Mel Bidewell, Nicole Cho-Yee, Ceryl Guard, Susanne, Hannah Curnow, Jayd Bowley, Malin Engman, Tanya, Carla Williams and Chez Albert
