The Valiants put seven past Tamworth, as 16-year-old Erin Moreton-Powell scored on her league debut in a dominant display at home.
The Valiants started the match as they meant to go on as Erin Moreton-Powell opened the scoring, with 5 minutes played, as she lifted her shot over the Tamworth keeper scoring her first senior team goal.
An opportunity to double the lead arose when Mollie Prime’s shot was deflected and looped onto Naomi Sale-Hancock's head, but she was flagged offside.
Olivia Grocott doubled the lead just shy of half an hour played as she lifted the ball over the keeper from short range from Lucy Moss’ cross.
It didn’t stop there for Grocott as she added a third three minutes later when she picked up the ball in the penalty area and fired it across the keeper to the left corner of the goal.
A goal was disallowed four minutes from the end of the half when Prime slotted the ball past the keeper from Moreton-Powell’s through ball but unfortunately was offside.
The Valiants managed to halt the visitors getting one back after the restart, as Daisy Anderson-Wright’s last-ditch tackle denied calling Connie Watts into action.
They found their shooting boots once again, in the 64th minute, when Elissa Dockerty’s long-range effort beat the keeper having the supporters on their feet.
Six minutes later, Macy Isherwood announced her arrival from the bench with a calmly tucked-away shot into the bottom left-hand corner after Powell’s slipped-through ball.
There was chaos in the six-yard box as the Valiants tried to find the crucial touch to make it six which seemed certain as Jess Smith fired goalward, however, a sea of Tamworth red denied her a getting on the score sheet.
Whilst Tamworth had been behind they still sought a consolation goal and in the 86th minute, it nearly came on the counter as the ball was played into their forward striking the bar and eventually cleared by Wright.
From the clearance away the Valiants had Tamworth scrambling to defend their own goal as Isherwood got her brace when she slotted past the keeper from within the 18-yard box and made it the sixth of the game.
A minute later Grocott got herself a hat trick when she blasted the ball into the far-right corner and left the keeper no chance, adding Vale’s seventh goal of the game.
