It was hard not to feel for the visitors who were playing without a specialist goalkeeper following a player departure during the week and also only had ten players available.

However Luke Jackson's side were not in the mood for mercy and took the opportunity to get a confidence boost ahead of the EMWRFL season which begins this coming weekend.

Alice Faulding crashed a shot off the post on four minutes, however Belper weren't to be denied as they gathered possession from the goal kick and Evie Jowett was on hand to slot home. Jowett was one of six debutants in the squad and incredibly four of them would go on to score hat tricks.

Jowett turned provider for Faulding on eight minutes as the Nailers doubled their lead and then Jowett picked up her second a couple of minutes later with another calm finish.

Jowett brought a great save out of Uzokwe on the quarter-hour mark but an unfortunate own goal by Gough made it four shortly after.

Mia Carnelley got in on the act after 18 minutes before Phallon Symcox, another player making her bow in the yellow and black struck a free kick which hit the post.

The next goal came on 22 minutes when Symcox won the ball before weaving through the Minster defence and scoring a great individual goal.

Carnelley's cross on 25 minutes was controlled by Faulding before the Belper goal machine finished into the corner.

Faulding completed her hat trick in the 28th minute, converting a Jowett cross and with seconds of the restart Belper had scored an identical goal, Faulding once again finishing after good work by Jowett.

Hollie Thompson was unlucky not to see her effort extend Belper's lead on 31 minutes, her shot rattling the woodwork again and then Jess Smithurst saw her shot go just wide.

Smithurst then hit the post before Carnelley on the rebound struck over the bar.

The Nailers entered double figures in the 35th minute when Faulding laid the ball off for Symcox to score and an unstoppable shot from Carnelley made it eleven.

Carnelley scored again five minutes before the break but there was still time for a couple more with Faulding bagging again and a nice left foot finish from Jowett meaning Belper went in at half-time leading by the scarcely believable scoreline of 14-0.

The healthy Raygar Stadium crowd had barely taken their seats for the second half before Symcox added another and straight from the restart Faulding converted a Carnelley cross.

Goal number seventeen came on 49 minutes when Leah Longdon crossed for Jowett to score but after this came a short spell where Minster were able to keep Belper at bay and they take credit for never giving up on what was a very difficult afternoon for them.

Faulding's cross for Smithurst resulted in the next goal and then Liv Froggatt scored barely a minute after coming on as sub, having been promoted from the Reserves this season.

Smithurst scored a great solo goal on 63 minutes as the Nailers made it 20 and then the returning Shannon Worrall saw her effort from range sneak under the goalkeeper.

Faulding picked up another assist after 73 minutes as Froggatt scored again and then after the goalkeeper couldn't gather a cross Honor White was on hand to score Belper's 23rd goal of the afternoon.

The 77th minute saw Faulding score her final goal of the match, she produced a nice finish before making way for Sammy Bennett.

Great footwork by Bennett enabled her to create a chance for Froggatt who capped a dream First Team debut by completing her hat trick.

Froggatt returned the favour on 86 minutes for Bennett to get on the scoresheet before birthday girl Katy Claxton hit the crossbar with a long range effort.

The final goal came in the 90th minute when Smithurst rolled the ball home after a cross dropped into her path.

Overall an incredible performance from Belper against a young Minster side who will hopefully use the hurt they will feel after this match to fuel success later in the season and going forward.

The Nailers progress to the Second Qualifying Round of the Adobe Women's FA Cup.
