Super seven as Graves hits four

Spalding Ladies 1s 7
Wisbech 2s 0
Laura Graves scored four times as Spalding continued their stunning start to the new East Women’s Three North West season.
After opening with a 10-0 win at Cambridge Nomads, they rattled in seven more goals with Karen Timby 2 and Lauren Spenceley also on target.
Graves opened the scoring in the fifth minute, picking up a great through ball from Timby. She added her second just four minutes later after persistent work by Honor Pearson.
Wisbech struggled to keep the home attacks at bay and conceded a penalty corner in the 16th minute, which was dispatched by Timby.
Timby added to her tally after receiving a fantastic long pass from Evie Maltby.
Despite wasting several opportunities, the hosts did score twice more before half time, with Graves completing her hat-trick with a neat finish before Spenceley joined her on the scoresheet.
Graves completed her player-of-the-match performance with the only goal of the second half after some close control in the D. Defender Holly Gleave earned the joint player of the match award for ensuring Wisbech were not able to convert any chances of their own.
