Two stunning strikes from Hattie Ashton, and a third from the prolific Becky Birchall, gave The Linnets a hard fought win at the NAC and maintained their unbeaten record. Although the plaudits went to the goalscorers, credit must be paid to the almost unbreachable defence of Briony Machin, Charlotte Wiggins, Hannah Travis and Megan O'Keefe, along with the safe hands of Stephi Hesketh in goal. With the midfield working its socks off, and striker Amy Bulman once again giving the opposition back four plenty to think about with her unselfish running, Burscough look a 'team' in the truest sense of the word. The battle at the top of this league currently looks very interesting indeed . . . . .
