ROSS Juniors Ladies endured a tough afternoon in the Herefordshire FA Women's County Cup semi-final, falling to a 10-0 defeat against a strong Hereford Pegasus side.

Ross showed determination throughout the match, particularly in the first half, where they tested Pegasus' defence on multiple occasions.

However, the West Midlands Women’s Regional League side proved too strong, racing into a two-goal lead inside the opening 12 minutes.

A rapid hat-trick from Roxy Dinescu put Pegasus firmly in control before Emily Morgan made it 6-0 before the break. Dinescu struck twice more in the second half, with Chloe Wiggill and Morgan rounding off the scoring.

Ross Juniors can take pride in their cup run, competing against higher-league opposition, and will now turn their attention back to their league campaign.
