QPR Ladies continued their encouraging pre-season campaign with a thumping victory over Staines on Sunday.

Despite taking a while for the Hoops to get going in baking weather conditions, it easily could have been double figures as the visitors were guilty of missing numerous opportunities to score. Once Chez Albert opened the scoring though there was only ever going to be one winner and generally the Rs played some excellent football throughout.

Staines struggled to gain any control over the midfield which Malin Engman and Tanya bossed from the outset and Chez’s trickery and smart dribbling gave them all sorts of trouble. Up front Viki Blackburn worked her socks off and deserved a goal for her performance, but was unlucky not to get the rub of the green on more than one occasion.

Malin added a second followed by a glorious hat-trick from Donya Wilson put the game way beyond doubt before Tanya and Malin (who grabbed her second) finished the job. Staines did manage to pull back a late consolation goal but by then the game was long over.

Team: Shereen (GK), Ceryl Guard, Ellie Sullivan, Nicole Cho-Yee, Mel Bidewell (Capt), Donya Wilson, Steph Lupano, Tanya, Malin Engman, Chez Albert and Viki Blackburn.

Subs: Elsa, Mel Randall and Allana Ashmeil
