Royal Wootton Bassett Town remained winless in the South West Regional Women's Football League after a 6-3 loss away against Liskeard Athletic.

By far the team's longest journey of the season, it wound up being a frustrating trip to Cornwall as Bassett found themselves on the losing end of another high scoring battle.

Adding to the feeling was the fact that, for the second time this season, Bassett surrendered a two goal lead.

Libby Davies struck twice within the opening quarter of an hour as her side got off to a perfect start.

But that would be as good as it got for the visitors.

Chloe Williams pulled a goal for the hosts before Sam Metters headed in from Charlotte Bond's cross to draw level midway through the half.

Another Metters header then gave Liskeard their first lead. And the Cornish outfit were fully in charge just before the interval courtesy of a fine Bond free kick.

After the restart, Metters completed her hat trick to 5-2, while Ollie Ramsey got in on the act to make it a home half dozen.

There was time for Davies to complete her hat trick shortly before the end but that was a mere consolation.
