The ladies celebrated a thumping win

Sunderland Ladies continued their impressive league form with a 6-0 rout of Reading Ladies in the Women's Premier League North on Sunday.

The game was all but over by half time with the home side 5-0 up, with Sophie Williams (two), Kelly McDougall, Jordan Nobbs and Lucy Staniforth on target.

Abby Holmes then netted in the second half to ease the Wearsiders to victory.

Meanwhile, Sunderland goalkeeper Helen Alderson has been selected for an England women's under-23s training camp.
