A battling performance from Chasetown Ladies in the second half wasn’t enough to turn round a first half deficit.

The hosts were ahead with just a minute on the clock when Lucy Allen shot home after good approach play.

Carly Edwards saw a shot saved on six minutes, but Cresswell gradually got back in the game and hit the post on ten minutes, before levelling on 18, when Becky Troth made a great save to keep out the first shot, but was helpless for the follow up.

Two minutes later, Cresswell led through a fortuitous strike when a cross from the left wing flew in above Troth’s head to stun the home side.

Player of the match Becky Troth made another good save before half-time and, from the resultant corner, Cresswell hit the bar as they began to make their territorial advantage pay.

Cresswell increased their lead just short of the hour mark, with a neat move and right foot shot which gave Troth no chance and then were 4-1 up 12 minutes later.

To their credit, Chasetown Ladies never gave up and with 15 minutes left had a life-line when Katie Rose and Stacey Roberts combined with a neat one-two just outside the area, with Rose’s shot too powerful for the Wanderers keeper who got both hands to the lobbed effort but couldn’t keep it out.

A late chance fell to Scholars substitute Nicci Barter and had that gone in it would have made for a frantic finish, but it wasn’t to be.

**Chasetown**: Troth, Farmer, M Rose, Thompson, Taylor, Kinsey, Wright, Garland-Ridding, Edwards, Roberts, Allen. Subs: K Rose (for Allen), Barter (for Wright).
