Daryll Abrahams’ side got back to winning ways, picking up a 6-1 victory at home against Liverpool Feds Reserves, thanks to braces from Georgia McKnight, Fran Boyle and Kira Saycell.

Boyle’s effort from the edge of the box was easily saved by the goalkeeper after four minutes, moments before the striker linked up well with McKnight, who produced a good finish to open the scoring.

McKnight almost looked to score again with a left-footed effort from inside the D, but it was easily saved by Faye Evans.

The Robins were on top and looking add a second, which they came so close to doing after an excellent ball over the top from Ashley Jones. McKnight’s ball across goal left Boyle with a tap-in, but somehow Evans saved at point-blank range and Jones put the rebound over the crossbar.

A minute later, the advantage was doubled with Boyle this time making no mistake and rifling the ball in at the near post after an exquisite through ball from Ash Gilmore.

Saycell found the third after intercepting a lose pass by a Liverpool Feds defender and making no mistake with the finish from close range.

Substitute Emily Rutter forced Evans into a good save one-on-one, though from the resulting corner, McKnight produced a delightful volley to make it four going into the break.

The Robins’ goalscoring slowed in the second period, though they remained in complete control, with Boyle getting the fifth after a good pass by Rutter, finishing into the bottom right corner.

Again Rutter played a good ball through the Liverpool defence, this time it was Saycell who latched onto it and lifted the ball over the goalkeeper for her second. She had an opportunity for a hattrick when Boyle won a flick-on inside the penalty area, but volleyed over.

Altrincham were coasting and looked set for a first clean sheet since November, but were denied by a superb 20-yard strike by Sienna Browne Britten with 15 seconds of regular time remaining.

The Elite U18s were in action on the other pitch at Partington Sports Village, winning 4-2 over West Kirby U18 Women in the Cheshire Women & Youth Football League U18 Premier Division.

They followed the theme of players getting on the scoresheet twice, as they took a 2-1 lead at the break thanks to goals from Amelie Heathcote and Tia Unwin, with the duo netting again in the second half.
