They proved far too strong for hosts Kingfisher LFC as they powered to an 8-0 success.

Dani Ranger set Stour on their way with a seventh-minute opener. And the visitors had the points wrapped up by the break following further strikes from Carly Aldred, Esme Moran and Mollie-Mai Summers.

The goals continued to flow in the second half with Moran and Summers finding the net again before Lili-Beth Brown and Sam Whittaker rounded off a fine display.

Katie Perry was on target for Sedgley & Gornal United in their 1-1 draw at Coventry City.

In the North Division, Sandwell Ladies eased to a comfortable 9-1 triumph at Kewford Eagles.

Rachel Cumberledge netted both goals for Wyrley Ladies in their 2-2 draw with Shifnal.

Premier Division outfit Lye Town lost 2-1 at Worcester.
