WIGHT Eagles Ladies delivered a stunning footballing performance with a massive win away at BTC Southampton in the Hampshire Women's League Division 2 on Sunday.

BTC SOUTHAMPTON 2, WIGHT EAGLES LADIES 15

The Islanders wasted no time asserting their dominance — racing to a 3–0 lead within the first seven minutes, thanks to goals from Kira Smith, Daysi Chapman and Aimee Rann.

A brief lapse allowed the hosts to pull one back, but the Eagles quickly regained control.

They added four more before the break, with Sophie Lewis on target, with Smith doubled her tally and Rann completed a first-half hat-trick, to make it 7–1 at half-time.

The second half was nothing short of relentless.

Sticking to their game plan and showcasing the hard work put in during training, Wight Eagles piled on eight more goals.

Rann struck twice more to finish with a five-goal haul, while Smith added two to take her total to four.

Kelsie Ronan joined the scoresheet, and Mia Richardson celebrated her first two goals for the club in style.

This emphatic victory not only underlined the squad’s attacking firepower but also their growing confidence and cohesion. The result propels Wight Eagles up to third in the league and sends a clear message to their rivals.

Next up, the team travels to Totton on Sunday to face Pace FC Ladies in the Invitation Cup.
