The breakthrough came after 13 minutes when Rigby played in Ripley and the left midfielder took the ball around a couple of Eastbourne defenders before firing home.

Tideway were dominating possession and added a second minutes later through Charlotte Lloyd.

Tideway' third came after an inch-perfect ball over the top by centre back Laura Perryman for Michelle Forshaw to chase through.

Tideway started the second half strongly from the kick off with Ripley grabbing her second to make it 4-0 and Lloyd added a quickfire fifth after going close with two shots that hit the crossbar.

Rigby added the sixth with a clean strike from the edge of the penalty box, and Lloyd fired home her hat-trick for the seventh after some good build-up play. Ripley got the eighth with an excellent finish to grab another hat-trick.
