England Ladies 8 - Malta Ladies 0 at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool
Played in a howling gale, England ladies had trouble against a solidly defensively Maltese side determined not to suffer a repeat of their recent 13-0 hammering against Spain. England struggled in front of goal, failed to take numeorus chances and were unable to make the most of Malta being a player down for much of the second half.
A very entertaining game to watch but with goal difference likely to be a big factor in final World Cup qualification, coach Hope Powell and hat-trick hero Fara Williams (pictured) were very despondent at the aftermatch press conference.
