Every tackle, every attack was cheered by the crowd of 4,856 in what was the perfect afternoon for the Bees.<\/p>\n<p>The first half was all Brentford as they scored three, including a lob over the Ashmount goalie from just over the halfway line from defender Maddie Phillips. Brentford put continuous pressure on the Ashmount Leigh defence and always looked hungry for more.<\/p>\n<p>The second half started just as the first ended. It was only a matter of minutes before Nikki Woods added a fourth and Logie a fifth &#8212; and all before the 65<sup>th<\/sup> minute. This was a landmark goal for Logie as she now has a whopping 40 this season.<\/p>\n<p>Ashmount Leigh did get one back in the 67<sup>th<\/sup> minute, but it was a small spot on an otherwise perfect afternoon for Brentford Women. After a rare goalless period in the match, substitute Ellen Wardlaw brought it back to a five goal lead for the home side.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">40 league goals this season for Logie &#x1f64c;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BrentfordFCW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BrentfordFCW<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BrentfordFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BrentfordFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/O9Rff7t8nH\">pic.twitter.com\/O9Rff7t8nH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brentford FC Women (@BrentfordFCW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrentfordFCW\/status\/1771937513868800510?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 24, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Bees took a deserved lead in the 18<sup>th<\/sup> minute from a Kirsty Matthews goal. They had the lion\u2019s share of possession and chances until that point, and it felt only a matter of time until they found the opener.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips did then produced perhaps a goal of the season contender. The defender took an audacious shot just past the halfway line when she saw goalkeeper Lou Brooks off her line and the crowd couldn\u2019t believe it as the ball bounced into the back of the net.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd was loving it as the Bees clearly came to put on a show. Eleonora Cottrell was one-on-one with Brooks and opened her body up to aim for the bottom right corner. It looked headed just wide when Chloe Logie beat her defender to poke it home. A true number 9\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n<p>It was more of the same for the Bees at the start of the second half. A shot-cross rolled just in front of the line before being pinged around and finally being cleared by the Ashmount Leigh defence.<\/p>\n<p>Minutes later, Woods drove into the box after Ashmount failed to clear their lines and slid it past the goalie to make it 4-0. Only moments later, she looked bound for another, but Brooks recovered well to save the attempt.<\/p>\n<p>The Bees weren\u2019t done yet, though. They were awarded a penalty for a foul on Woods. None other than Chloe Logie stepped up and calmly slotted home to score her second on the day and make it 5-0.<\/p>\n<p>To their credit, Ashmount Leigh did create chances on the counter and were able to pull one back with a Keisha Small goal midway through the second half. But, it was too little too late for the visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Bees substitute Wardlaw got in on the action in the 89th minute to score the final goal on the day and end it at 6-1.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sun was shining, families were decked out in their kits, and Brentford Women created lasting memories once again in a 6-1 win against Ashmount Leigh at the Gtech Community Stadium.
