Ilkley struggled to raise a full team today, but showing good sportsmanship they still showed up ready to play the game.
Hemsworth dominated the first half obviously, having a full squad, Jodie and Chloe were quick off the mark shooting at the Ilkley goal within the opening minutes catching Ilkley off guard.
Chelsea opened the scoring converting a cross from Amy. Jodie produced a brilliant header from Chazzie's corner for the second goal. Good team work from Chloe's cross to Amy who laid the ball on for Jodie in the box, saw Jodie bag her second goal of the match.
Ilkley's keeper had a tremendous game making some brilliant saves, to the frustration of the Hemsworth strikers! Chloe, Chazzie, Chels, Jodie, Tiff, and Amy all had many a shot foiled by the good keeper.
Jodie battled and managed to get her hat trick playing more up the field.
Livvvy shot from outside of the box, the ball ran past the goal mouth, for quick thinking Amy to scoop up and blast into the far corner for Hemsworth's fifth goal.
Hemsworth were confident that they had the game in the bag so they had a reshuffle and pulled players off not wanting to demoralise the Ilkley girls.
The defence of Becky, Mel and Linz protected "Birthday Girl Georgi" in the goals, as she only touched the ball once. "Birthday Girl Leah" volunteered to go in the goal for the second half and made a decent job of it.
Linz out of her usual position of defence, scored a good goal making it the last one of the match giving Hemsworth a 6-1 win and putting them through into the next round of the cup.
Sid and the spectators were impressed by the precise, calm, tactical passing football played today by the girls, especially in the first half- well done!
