Despite playing with 10 players for 75 minutes of the match, the Olympia F.C. Warriors have reclaimed top spot on the Super League table with a convincing 6-1 win over University. The Warriors were thrown a curve ball following Hannah Johnson's 15th minute red card, but with Madi Chambers and Bonnie Davies picking up braces, they shrugged off the numerical disadvantage to claim a comfortable victory.
The Warriors took the lead on 12 minutes when Olivia Bomford produced a sumptuous through ball for Madi Chambers to run onto who placed home into the far corner.
But the Warriors fortunes took a dramatic swerve four minutes later when Hannah Johnson was given a straight red for denying Sophie Young a goalscoring chance when she leant into her in the penalty area. It looked a harsh call but the Warriors were down to 10 and when Olivia Young dispatched the spot kick it was 1-1.
Not to be deterred by the numerical disadvantage, Olivia Bomford bent home a fine free kick from 20 yards that lobbed Steele and restored the visitors lead.
Madi Chambers then bagged her second of the day, skipping into the box and beating Steele at her near post to make it 3-1 at the half time break.
The competition's leading scorer Bonnie Davies then made her move, scoring two goals in quick succession to make it 5-1 and move a goal clear of her chief rival in the Golden Boot race in Zoe Nichols.
Monique Pinkiewicz then scored the goal of the day shortly before full time when she smashed home a brilliant long range shot to wrap up the 6-1 win and ensure the Warriors maintained top spot on the table.
