Bristol outfit Whitchurch romped to a 5-0 success at the Cannon Clarke Stadium @ Twerton Park, establishing a 3-0 advantage in the opening 37 minutes, to condemn the Romans to their heaviest defeat of the campaign.
Hannah Gillett handed the travellers a fifth-minute lead and Emily Plummer made it 2-0 seven minutes later.
Plummer doubled her tally eight minutes before the interval, pouncing on an error by Eve Trivett.
The score became 4-0 in the 65th minute, Xanthe Taylor on target, and Gillett secured her double when she completed Whitchurch’s nap hand three minutes from the end.
The Romans will have a chance of swift revenge over Whitchurch as the teams will meet in the return at South Bristol Sports Centre on Sunday 26th April (2pm).
