The Tudors went ahead seven minutes in through Natalie Adams, whose fierce low shot crept under the visiting keeper.

Natalie Cole, back in the centre of defence, helped Hemel keep Northwood at bay before Daisy Rendle forced in a second, minutes after seeing a shot hit the crossbar.

Captain Charlene Turturici settled the tie seven minutes later with the goal of the game - firing in a long range drive that gave the keeper no chance.

A fine first half performance was completed by Nashina Mohamed who followed up a Nat Adams shot on the half hour mark to put Hemel four up at the interval.

Chance after chance came the home side's way in the second half but only one name was added to the scoresheet - that of Olivia Smith - who headed home Mohamed's inch-perfect cross on 67 minutes to finish the scoring.

A debut eluded Steph Belcher, who played her first game for her new club since signing from Welwyn Ladies.
