Gleniffer Thistle Women recorded a 10-0 away win over West Park United Women in the ScottishPower Regional League Cup on Sunday, 16th August.

Colleen Cossar scored five goals for the Paisley women’s side and was named player of the match after a strong team performance.

Gleniffer opened the scoring after a spell of headed play involving Cossar and Sina Picken, with the ball eventually coming off Cossar and finding the net.

Cossar added her second after a good ball from Cara McInally found the captain inside the box.

She completed her hat-trick before half-time after finding the net following a scramble inside the 18-yard box, giving Gleniffer Women a 3-0 lead at the break.

A change of shape at half-time saw Cara Lovat move into a holding midfield role as Gleniffer continued to control possession.

Cossar added her fourth after running from midfield and rounding the goalkeeper.

Sara Paterson then made it 5-0 with a solo run and finish before Kirsty Ross added the sixth.

Cossar scored her fifth of the match to make it 7-0.

Cara McInally then beat the offside line, rounded the goalkeeper and calmly finished for Gleniffer’s eighth.

Lovat was denied by a save from a header but followed up to score the rebound.

The scoring was completed when Cossar burst into the box before unselfishly squaring the ball to Marci MacKay, who tapped home to complete the 10-0 victory.

Gleniffer also praised goalkeeper Leigh Skelton for making important interventions during the match. Paterson, Lovat, the defence and Picken were also highlighted for their performances.

Cossar was named player of the match after finishing with five goals as Gleniffer Thistle Women continued their ScottishPower Regional League Cup campaign with another victory.
