She struck in the second minute from open play and again five minutes later from a penalty corner. Emma McCabe scored their third eight minutes from time also from a penalty corner.
Beeston are also on a 100% record after winning 1-0 at Brooklands Poynton, but they had to rely on Alice Huddlestone’s late goal to clinch the win and inflict their rivals’ first defeat of the campaign.
