MATCH SUMMARY

The Bluebirds produced a brilliant performance and came out of the blocks quickly with Mackenzie Olden firing in from the edge of the box and Gillian Keenan heading in from a corner. 

Kate Oakley added a third with an effort from the right hand side, before Keenan got her second, again netting from a set-piece.

Lily Billingham made it five with a smart finish into the bottom corner with Kerry Walklett also getting in on the act by chipping the goalkeeper.

In a dominant first half display, an effort from Oakley found its way into the net as City went into the break with a 7-0 lead.

There were a further two goals in the second half for Oakley, who netted two fine strikes to take her tally up to four for the afternoon.

The tenth goal came from Mia Malone, whose clinical finish into the bottom corner took the score to double figures.

Late in the game, Amanda Franek and Anuka O'Hare came on for their senior debuts in a magnificent afternoon for the Bluebirds.

"We're really clicking as a group now. You can see how many chances we're creating and that's been a theme since the start of the season, but we're converting those now and it's clear that the players are getting used to each other.

"Some players have come back to fitness and that's a massive boost. It gives us the opportunity to see what combinations work best and we're able to utilise more players on the bench. You saw on Sunday the impact that the substitutes made, and we were really pleased with them.

"Aberystwyth is a difficult place to go and they'll set up in a solid way. They have a young squad that will get better throughout the year. We certainly won't be complacent going into Sunday.

"We're aiming for clean sheets. The goals that we've conceded this season aren't linked to our defensive shape, they're linked to errors in playing out which we can work on. The things that we're working on in terms of how we defend our own goal, both in and out of possession, we're doing well, but it's just about cutting out errors in order to achieve that clean sheet."

"I've loved my time at the Club so far and I've enjoyed every training session. We've got a great group of players and it's very much a family kind of environment. Everyone has been brilliant with me since I've come in.

"Working with Josh [Blackman] has been really important for my development. He's one of the best coaches that I've had the opportunity to work with. Being a great person, he's very helpful for my game and the relationship that he has with Grace [Olsen] and I allow us to improve.

"In the game against Cardiff Met, I think it showed what we have been working on in training. Sunday showed that we're capable of scoring a lot of goals which is important for us. We scored four at Barry as well so we're starting to see that progress that we'll look to take into Sunday, which will be another test for us. 

"We're a group of players that treat every game like it's the most important one. The focus is on each individual game and we know that Aberystwyth will make it difficult for us, as every team aims to do, so it's just about us doing the right things. The last few weeks have gone well and we're going into this weekend with confidence."
