Brentford Women B 6 Camden and Islington United 1 | OneFootball

Brentford Women B secured their second Greater London Premier Division win of the season, beating Camden and Islington United 6-1 on Sunday.

Coming into the clash off the back of a JGMT Cup win the week prior, the Bees were full of confidence when they arrived at Bedfont Sports Club. They started strongly, Chelsie Berry scoring a first-half brace and Lillie Elsbury and Shania Foley adding a goal each in the opening 45 minutes to go into the break up 4-1.

Brentford added two goals in the second half to complete a dominant display, substitute Orla McComb scoring a brace to secure three points.

Yannawit Khantharat’s side wasted little time going on the attack, Elsbury’s free-kick on seven minutes hitting the top-left corner to give the Bees an early lead.

They doubled that lead four minutes later through Berry. Karen Abou-Abdallah played the ball over the defence, Berry able to chip it past the final defender and finish bottom-right corner to make it 2-0.

Berry continued her fine goalscoring form this season and added a second goal as the game approached the 20-minute mark to give the Bees a superb start to the contest.

The visitors managed to get one back as the half-hour mark ticked over, substitute Shanelle Hall able to finish off the counter attack to make it 3-1.

It was Brentford who went into the break with the momentum, however, Foley able to beat two defenders as she made her way into the box before firing the ball into the bottom-right corner for the hosts’ fourth.

After a scintillating opening 45 minutes the goals slowed in the second half, however substitute McComb was able to add two for the hosts.

On 63 minutes it was Berry turning from goalscorer to assist deliverer, her cutback finding McComb at the back post who tapped it in from close range.

McComb added a second six minutes later, her free-kick from 22 yards hitting the top-right corner to secure the 6-1 win.

Khantharat was full of praise for his side post-game, the development of the team a highlight.

“The players are now starting to trust and believe in each other and that’s what we want to see,” he said.

“There’s more passing, more combination play. Hopefully we can make more progression focusing on details like creating two-v-one situations and defending strongly ahead of the next game which is a real test for us.”

The Bees now turn their attention to Tooting Bec on Sunday at Bedfont Sports Club (3pm kick-off).
