Peterborough Diamonds Under 12s made it three wins out of three this season when beating Waterbeach 7-0 at the weekend.Natasha Anderson set the ball rolling with her first goal of the season on five minutes and by half-time the Diamonds were 3-0 up thanks to a double strike by Elizabeth Steele.
The second half saw Diamonds continue their dominance and a shot from outside the area by Abbie Steels was diverted into the Waterbeach goal by one of their defenders to make it 4-0.
With the Diamonds growing in confidence the passing side of their game started to flourish and midfielder Steels combined with Anderson and Steele to hit the fifth, sixth and seventh goals to claim her hat-trick and put Diamonds in seventh heaven.
Coach Adrian Clarke said: "Every one of the girls played well and the passing side of their game is getting better and better."
Diamonds: Hannah Adams, Natasha Anderson, Georgia Clarke, Jessica Driscoll, Lucy Johnson, Rebecca Palmer, Elizabeth Steele, Abbie Steels.

DEEPING Diamonds faced their toughest task in a long time when they came up against a very strong and well organised Wyberton Wildcats team at the weekend.
They had obviously done their homework as every time Yasmin Green or Amie Forde got the ball they were totally surrounded.
After a goalless first half it was the Diamonds who came out stronger and with Green and Forde tied up, it was Kerry Chawko who took on the goalscoring role, firing home a match-winning brace.
An outstanding performance in defence by Keeley Tansley earned her the player-of-the-match award.
Diamonds: Rebecca Warr, Keeley Tansley, Jasmine Maude, Kiera McHattie, Amie Ford, Kerry Chawko, Yasmin Green, Sophie Langan, Chloe Moscatiello, Libby Field.
