Police Ladies FC lifted the gloom over their performance in the ongoing Malta Guinness Women League by recording a 3-0 away win over LadyStrikers FC in their Southern zone game, played at the Robert Mensah Stadium in Cape Coast over the weekend.

Goals from Bernice Apprey Arhinful, Jane Ayieyam and Deborah Afriyie brought joy to the hearts of the uniform Ladies, who until the win had lost three games and drawn one.

The visitors were on top at the start of the game with Grace Animah coming close to opening the scoring on the 12th minute but Yasmin Haruna pushed it over the goal line.

Six minutes after that effort, Arhinful found the back of the net with a strike from outside the box.

Lady Strikers came in strongly after the goal, pushing more women forward but that exposed them as striker Ayieyam capitalised on their defensive frailties to score the second goal on the 30th minute.

Back from recess, Afriyie raced past the defenceto score the third goal three minutes into the half.
