The Queen Bees dominated from the outset but Billingham looked up for the challenge in the opening minutes. The Queen Bees opened the scoring in the sixth minute through Amanda Carr and Jo Couture took the tally to 2 just two minutes later. The Queen Bees rounded the period off with a stunning solo goal from Sam Bidmead who took a perfectly placed top corner shot for 3-0 at the break.

The Queen Bees truly commanded the game in the second period out-shooting their visitors by 16-2. Sam Phillips started the scoring in this period 7 minutes in, then Vicki Burton made it 5-0 at the halfway point. The final marker of the period came from Dani Summers to take the game to 6-0 at the break.

The third period saw Queen Bees’ coach John Hubbell give new back-up goalkeeper Charlotte Bowyer her debut for the team and mix the lines around a little to try some new combinations. The shake up gave Billingham a few more chances but Bracknell kept the pressure high, out-shooting the Wildcats 20-8 in this period.

Burton and Chrissy Newman scored early on and within 30 seconds of each other to take the tally to 8 before Bowyer made a great save to keep the scoreline. With 11 minutes to go Billingham pulled a goal back with a long-range shot from Emma Gourley but Bracknell were more than equal to it and put another 4 in the Billingham net from Newman, Summers, Couture and a debut goal from junior Daisy Dorme to take the final score to 12-1.

Player of the match for the Queen Bees was Chrissy Newman.
