Milestone goal for free-scoring Tara Kirk in easy County Cup win for Peterborough United Women

Tara Kirk claimed her 50th goal for Peterborough United Women as they made short work of Northampton Town’s Development team in a Northants Cup quarter-final.

Kirk scored four of the goals in a 6-1 win with her final strike bringing up the notable milestone. Captain Keir Perkins and Emily Meli completed the scoring for a National League side against lower level opposition at Moulton College.
