Dereham Ladies 9, Lowestoft 0
DEREHAM bounced back from East Women's Hockey League defeat to emphatically win against Lowestoft.
They are second in the Premier Division, one point behind Cambridge City.
Kath Malvern opened the scoring after four-and-a-half minutes with a deflected shot.
Holly Allen scored the first of her hat-trick following a short corner and Hannah Palmer made it 3-0 with a reverse-stick shot.
Dereham totally dominated play and Lowestoft rarely ventured into the Dereham 16-yard area, and when they did the defence of Donna Causton, Chloe Hobson and goalkeeper Beth Maule made sure Dereham kept a clean sheet.
