Larkhall U14 Girls made a stylish start to the defensive of their Wiltshire County Cup defence as they beat Swindon Town 4-1 following a commanding performance.

After Becky Sartin fired into the side netting, the Larks took a deserved lead when the impressive Ellie Marden and Romany Lowe combined well to release Ellie Lyne, who outpaced the Swindon defence before crashing the ball into the bottom corner.

A fine save from Stacey Wall and strong defensive tackling from Becky Kersey, maintained the lead and then took control in the second half. Ellie Lyne doubled the lead after a good move involving Becky Sartin and Romany Lowe. Then Rebecca Jacobs capped an excellent performance as she cut in from the left, dribbled past two defenders and cracked the ball home.

Substitute Becky Roper made it 4-0 with a strong shot before Swindon scored a well worked consolation goal.

Larkhall U14 Girls now await the draw for the second round. Ties will be played on the weekend of the 27/28^th of February.
