It was a case of job done for Motherwell as they cruised to a 2-0 victory over Glasgow Women on Tuesday night at the John Cumming stadium.
A Carla Boyce double was enough to see the women of steel climb into the top six, albeit playing a game more than the other teams in the league.
Kayla Jardine and Louisa Boyes were handed their first starts with new signing Tiree Burchill named on the bench after signing just two hours prior to kick off.
It would only take 13 minutes for Motherwell to break the deadlock. Georgie Rafferty played a high ball into the danger area, Boyce controlled on her chest before finishing into the bottom left hand corner.
15 minutes later, it was nearly two. Kodie Hay this time with some neat work on the wing before firing a cross into the box, her cross would come off the woodwork and Boyce fired over from the rebound.
Motherwell frustrations would grow as they were unable to extend their lead but their patience would pay off on 56 minutes. Jardine with some quick feet to cut inside and drive a cross into the box, the ball eventually fell to Boyce who could tap home to make it 2.
Birthday girl Chelsie Watson nearly made it a day to remember as her header went just wide of the post from a Leanne Crichton corner.
It would be Crichton who would go close on 78 minutes. Emma Lawton beat the defender to the byline and crossed into the former Scotland international, who managed to keep her shot down and on target but the effort was well saved.
In the end, 2-0 would be how it would finish with the women of the steel climbing the table into the top six.
