MARINE Academy Plymouth clinched the South West Women’s League Western Division title in style on Sunday by beating second-placed Sticker 7-2 at Manadon.
Marine Academy actually went behind after just five minutes of the big game, but once captain Sam Drewery pulled them level five minutes later they did not look back.
They were particularly clinical in the final 20 minutes of the first half where they scored four goals, including a great long-range effort from Rebekah Rose, to take a 5-1 lead into the break.
Just like in the first half, Sticker scored early on after the restart, but Marine were able to add to more goals.
Siana Goddard enjoyed a day to remember with a hat-trick in the title win, while Drewery bagged two and Rose and Ellen Thomas also got on the scoresheet.
Marine Academy still have two games to play but their win at the weekend moved them eight points clear at top, with Sticker only having one match to play.
