League championship as they remained unbeaten after a 5-0 shellacking of Dandy Stars at Somerset.

Stars paid dearly for entering the game short one player, which forced Shawnette Smith, normally a centre-back, to take on the goal-keeping chores.

Smith was tested early by efforts from Maria Smith and Terry-Lynn Paynter within moments of the opening kick-off, before her side had a go at the opposition.

Nevertheless, it was the female Green Knights thrusting themselves in front in the sixth minute through Darcy Irwin, who poked home a Tanya Semos cross.

Not to be outdone, Stars retaliated with an attacking set-piece at the other end, but no one in the penalty area could get a body part on Rebecca Sousa's floating corner.

They would pay dearly for their ineptitude after 11 minutes when Paynter intercepted a pass deep in enemy territory. She carried the ball into the penalty area before smashing a left foot shot past Smith into the left corner.

Severely wounded by the latest mishap, Stars continued to battle and in the 18th minute created their best chance.

Striker Makeba DeShields dribbled around defender Leslie Cherry and released a shot from the left side which appeared earmarked for the back of the net before the big paw of 'keeper Sonya Smith came out to grab the ball.

Refreshed, BAA came out strong following the interval and soon increased the lead to 3-0 through a well-executed play involving three team-mates in the 57th minute.

Irwin lofted a corner which was headed on by Cherry allowing an onrushing Semos to volley the ball home in stride.

Stars lone contribution to the proceedings occurred when sweeper Lisa Robinson hammered a free-kick on target only to find Smith standing in the way.

Irwin notched her second -- the team's fourth -- in the 76th minute and three minute later capped off a fine evening in completing a personal hat-trick.

In the nightcap, Rude Girls kept their title aspirations alive as they squeaked past unlucky Somerset Terminators 2-0.

Utilising intense early pressure and lapses by the home team defence, the visitors were able to forge an early lead and hang on for a positive result.

Barely 12 minutes had ticked off the referee's watch when Rude Girls skipper Chrissie Johnson announced her presence in tucking away a brilliant cross by Sakena Clarke.

The avalanche of pressure continued with Rude Girls in the predominant role and it was only a matter of time before the advantage was doubled.

Defender Cherise King on a overlap sent a through ball to Chevonne Washington having just the 'keeper to beat.

Washington needed a few cracks before she was finally able to bundle the ball over the line for the score.

The half continued with Rude Girls on the attack while Somerset defended stoutly to avert any further damage.

The second half was equally loaded with opportunities. However, neither side was able to convert.
