PNE took the lead on just four minutes when Michaela Barlow smacked in a cross from Sarah Berry.

Louise Cafferkey and Barlow both shot just over the bar. Cafferkey's rasping shot was well saved.

PNE kept up the pressure and Cafferkey shaved the bar on 17 minutes and Barlow nearly got her second on 22 minutes, but her stooping header went just wide.

Cafferkey then hit the post but PNE couldn't add to their lead until Barlow got her second with a 30 yard strike. Cafferkey spied the keeper off her line, but her chip went just wide.

Sarah Berry got PNE's third, turning from an Alison Taberner throw in and smacking the ball into the corner of the net. Taberner had a speculative shot from outside the box just over the bar. PNE kept up the attack and Laura Cain got PNE's fourth, turning in a precise cross from Barlow on 54 minutes.

Mel Martin shot just over and Jen Simmonds hit the bar on 63 minutes. Barlow got PNE's fifth and her hat trick on 70 minutes. Chorley got a goal back on 71 minutes, slipping the ball past the keeper on the edge of the box.

PNE then had to soak up some pressure but Barlow got PNE's sixth goal on 80 minutes, meeting an excellent Cain cross. Barlow bagged her fifth and PNE's seventh on 88 minutes.

The team are away on Sunday to Bolton Ambassadors in the FA Cup.
