Everton warm up for UEFA Cup test

Aug 14 2007 Liverpool Daily Post

EVERTON Ladies continued their first Women’s UEFA Cup campaign with a 11-0 drubbing of Northern Irish side Glentoran on Saturday.

Mo Marley’s team had already made a winning start in the group as they overcame Gintra Universitetas 4-0 on Thursday.

Emily Westwood opened the scoring against Glentoran, with Fara Williams and Amy Kane making it 3-0 before half-time.

The second half saw Kane complete her hat-trick, with Jody Handley, Kelly McDougal and Michelle Evans grabbing goals, as well as defender Lindsay Johnson getting her first goal for the club.

Youngster Toni Dugan’s fine pre-season form continued, as she scored a brace to complete the a fine victory, in only her second appearance for the first team.

Everton top Group A1 and have a goal difference of 15 going into today’s final fixture with FCC Zuchwil (kick-off 2.30pm), before returning to Merseyside tomorrow.

The squad’s five England players will fly to China on Saturday to prepare for the World Cup, which means no Everton games again until at the end of September.
