Norwich City Ladies lifted the Norfolk & Suffolk County Cup after beating West Lynn Ladies 5-0 this afternoon.
Paige Shorten netted a brace for City, and other goals were scored by Sophie Fuller, Nicola Bray and Jodie Drake, with player of the match named as Beth Bygrave.
The two teams had never faced each other before. Underdogs West Lynn, from the Eastern Region League, battled hard but simply couldn't contain Norwich, who play in the higher-level South-East Combination.
In the final, held at Fakenham Town FC in bright sunshine, Shorten netted the first two goals, the first within a few minutes of kick-off, with Fuller adding the third.
