Five-star Chippenham add cup joy to league success

A HAT-TRICK from Lucy Bailey, and a goal each from Lia Painter and Seb Everson gave Chippenham Ladies the Wiltshire League Cup as they defeated Swindon Town 5-2 to complete the double.

A header from Charlotte Johnson put Bailey through for her second before Everson fired in the fourth for a comfortable half-time lead.

Two Laura Morgan goals in two minutes brought Swindon back within striking distance, but Bailey looped in the fifth afrom a free kick.

But victory was snatched away as Bradford were awarded a controversial penalty which brought the scores level.

And in the dying minutes of the game, they scored the winner.
