I used to love that bit on the old teleprinter when a team getting a high score used to get it typed out in letters - unless it was against my team of course! This was the highest victory I have seen in any of my cup runs and achieved by a Sheffield team who proved far superior in every part of the game. They carried no passengers, all their players were fit and lean and a joy to watch. The two girls up front, Zoe Beresford and Chez Mawhood were sharp, swift and unstoppable.
It was a sign of things to come when United scored through Amy Owen after just 3 minutes. Mawhood made it 2-0 after 10 minutes , and although things evened out for the rest of the half Bolton never really looked like scoring. For me the game ended as a contest just before half time when United scored from the spot. The only unpleasant thing was the reaction of the Bolton manager whose swearing was completely inappropriate - my only suggestion to him would be to read the rules as to what constitutes a foul - he clearly has no idea!
That unwarranted interlude put this neutral firmly into the Sheffield camp (well, they aren't managed by Neil Warnock) and I watched in admiration as four more goals rolled in in the second period from Becky Kendell (twice), Mawhood (completing her hat-trick) and Rachael Ruddach.
In my view they will be a challenge for any team in the next round.
