Chester Ladies 2nd 0-6 Winnington Park Ladies
JAZ Barlow scored four goals when Winnington Park Ladies put behind them a defeat seven days earlier in stunning fashion.
She broke the deadlock midway through the first-half before Helen Fowler applied the finishing touch to a collective move to double the visitors’ lead.
Barlow sent a penalty flick inches past a post after a defender had blocked with a foot on the goal-line but made amends when she netted at the end of a counter-attack early in the second-half.
Fowler made it 4-0 before Barlow completed a hat-trick.
She took a second chance to convert a penalty flick too, neatly tucking the ball away to add a final flourish.
Winnington Park Ladies 2nd 1-2 Chester Ladies 3rd
FORTUNE favoured the visitors to Northwich, who pinched maximum points when a deflected shot deceived Winnington’s stand-in goalkeeper Emma Turley.
The home team had taken the lead at Grange School when Eileen Miller converted a penalty flick before an injury to net-minder Maizey Hudson prompted a reshuffle.
Chester restored parity after changing formation early in the second-half, converting from a short-corner.
They applied pressure to a Park defence in which both Beth Preston and Lottie Acton stayed solid before Miller too succumbed to an injury.
Turley then had no chance of adjusting to stop a shot that struck a Park player before finding the net.
