Devon Women's Cup 2nd Round
Exeter City avoided a potential Devon Cup upset by disposing of Exmouth Town 6-0 with a polished performance at Cullompton. City boss Steve McLear had warned his players against complacency in the build up to the clash and they responded with a disciplined display.
McLear said: "Exmouth made it hard for us in the first-half but once we settled we played some good football and took our chances well."
Emma Redwood made the breakthrough after 38 minutes when she prodded home following a goalmouth scramble.
Stacey Pearson doubled the advantage moments before the break with a sharp finish from the edge of the box.
After the interval City moved through the gears and overwhelmed their Devon League opponents.
Steph Matthews set up Jo Goldsworthy to make it 3-0 on 50 minutes before Redwood claimed her second just after the hour.
On 74 minutes Redwood completed her hat-trick, finishing off a slick move. And right on the final whistle Sally Ames' fine volleyed finish completed the scoring.
