Northern Ireland international Lauren Wade netted four goals as Glentoran Women put the gloss on their Danske Bank Women’s Premiership title win with a thumping 9-1 victory over Derry City on Tuesday night.
Two of Wade’s goals came in the space of a minute as the Glens took control at The Oval after fellow international Caragh Hamilton opened the scoring for the east Belfast side.
The title party continued when Hamilton added another while Northern Ireland star Nadene Caldwell also fired home. Wade popped up with two more and NI teenager Danielle Maxwell got in on the act with the eighth goal of the night.
Caroline Gallagher pulled one back for the Candystripes before Cora Moran netted goal number nine for the champions.
