through Ellie Hamilton and Isobel McEwen. Chester-le-Street Utd netted seven times without
reply past Guisborough Town and move up to third, Holly Doogan bagging a hat-trick along with
Ellie Crawford (2), Jade Fenton and Mica Ferguson. Amy Coatesworth, Abbey Howarth, Jessica Cook
and Abigail Phipps were the markswomen for Washington Women as they edged out Hartlepool
