Beth Grice doubled that lead on 21 minutes as she converted a Shanice Finbow cross. It was 3-0 before half time as Finbow turned scorer when she converted goalkeeper Hannah Holloway’s long ball.
Crewe started the second in similar when they were awarded a penalty after a foul on Grice. Lauren Cooper saw her initial penalty saved but stayed composed to convert the rebound. Grice then completed the scoring for the home side just after the hour mark. To Mossley Hill’s credit, they refused to give in and added a goal of their own with 3 minutes remaining.
