Exeter LFC 4-1 Newport 

Trotting In A Hat-Trick.

Exeter Ladies kicked off their Women's Western League soccer season with a convincing 4-1 against the tough Welsh side, Newport, at Wyvern Barracks yesterday.

This stretched their unbeaten home run to 14 games. Julie Trott gave the visitors' defence all sorts of problems and capped a fine performance with a hat- trick. Julie Costello scored Exeter's fourth goal
