On fifteen minutes influential midfielder Laura McAllister back from injury drove the ball home from ten yards out to open the scoring for Rovers. Soon afterwards Huntingdon failed to clear their defensive line and and a shot from McAllister was fumbled by the keeper for Rovers second and McAllisters brace. Rovers kept Huntingdon pinned into their own half for long periods and the pressure again paid off when Claire Radford slotted home Rovers third. Rovers continued to create chances and with ten minutes to go of the first half a pin point ball from Sarah Gee was met by Radford who slotted home her second and Rovers fourth.

A run down the wing and quality cross from Kerry Elmer was met by Sarah Gee who slotted the ball home for Rovers fifth. Soon afterwards a break from midfield saw Ingle, Radford and Elmer link up well to put Gee through to lob the oncoming goalkeeper to knock home her second and Rovers sixth. Despite losing Andrea Starr through a head injury ten player Rovers kept the pressure on and with ten minutes to go a cross from Elmer was flicked on by Emma Shaw which was met by Gee to shoot home for her hat trick and Rovers seventh. Final score 7-0 to Rovers.

"The only thing Huntingdon won today was a corner, apart from that we did not let them create a single goal scoring opportunity. We struggled on the run up to Christmas because we were missing key players Laura McAllister and Claire Radford. Their return and the recent signing of Kerry Elmer shows what we can do when we are at full strength. Kerry is a quality player whose distribution is wonderful and always creates chances for our strikers. The whole team once again performed to a high standard and gave 101%".
