Town claimed their first three points of the calendar year by dispatching bottom of the table Hounslow 9-0 at the Goldstar Ground on Sunday.
In-form forward Natasha Thomas notched four, Maddie Biggs and Abbie Lafayette both bagged braces, with Paige Peake completing the scoring with a sublime free-kick.
Unsurprisingly, Town came flying out of the blocks and got themselves ahead inside the opening five minutes. After breaking into the area and beating two defenders with neat footwork, Bonnie Horwood squared the ball for Thomas, who found the bottom corner with a deflected half-volley. Lafayette soon doubled the Tractor Girls' lead directly from a corner as her in-swinging delivery couldn't be kept out by Alina Wright. Town continued to pile on the pressure and got a deserved third just before the break as Biggs netted for the first time since late October. After receiving the ball from Anna Grey, Lafayette laid the ball on a plate for Biggs, who turned it past Wright with a neat finish.
The Tractor Girls went straight for the jugular after the break but took some time to net a fourth until Lafayette finally made the breakthrough just before the hour-mark. Hounslow failed to clear their lines and Thomas teed up Lafayette to drill past Wright from 12-yards. Lafayette soon turned provider as her dangerous corner was headed in by the towering Thomas to make it 5-0 to the Blues. Thomas would soon have her first hat-trick of the season as substitute Lucy O'Brien spun in midfield before sending the Town forward through on goal and she made no mistake by rounding Wright and slotting into an open net.
Soon a flurry of late goals arrived as Town netted three times in the final five minutes. First, Peake made it 7-0 with a superb pinpoint free-kick from 20-yards, whipping it low around the wall and into the bottom corner with Wright beaten at full stretch. Biggs then made it 8-0 as the game entered added time. After being slipped through by Lafayette, Biggs rounded the stranded Wright and slotted into an open net for her second of the afternoon. Finally, Thomas completed the rout in the 93rd minute as she raced through on goal before once again rounding Wright and putting the ball into an open net for her 15th goal of the season.
Town remain top of the FAWNL Southern Premier Division table ahead of this Sunday's trip to Keynsham Town.
