Keir’s seven-minute hat-trick clinches an historic win for Peterborough United Women

Posh won 5-1 at Bedworth United in the first National League match in the club’s history. A four-goal burst after the break sealed what eventually turned out to be a comfortable Midlands Division success.

Summer signing Jess Driscoll opened the scoring in the second minute following a superb through ball from Megan Parrett.

And that’s how it stayed until the 48th minute when the hosts equalised and they almost took the lead minutes later as a shot struck the outside of a post.

But Posh were back in front on the hour mark when substitute Ellen Marson expertly finished off a deep cross from Perkins.

Perkins then ensured she was the headline grabber with two one-one-one finishes and a volleyed goal.
