Morecambe Ladies 0-4 Liverpool Feds
espite some solid defending, Morecambe were undone by a soft goal early on when a long throw in from the right into the box was headed on and the Feds’ forward nodded it into the goal to make it 1-0.
Two moments of controversy saw Emma Kay tripped and a Liverpool arm touching the ball, both in the visitors’ area but the officials turned down both appeals.

The Feds came out for the second half much sharper and it took 10 minutes for them to double their lead with the best move of the match.
Some interchanges down the left set up a quick low ball into the area which was perfectly met and buried in the back of the net to make it 2-0.
Feds then took their chances and killed the game off with two quick goals.
