It was Royston's Sophie Gathercole who got the opener when she picked up an excellent cross from Sarah Buckerfield and flicked it passed the 'keeper.
Royston then conceded a penalty flick which 'keeper Mel Harding was unlucky not to save after getting a hand to it, but Royston came straight back and Buckerfield put Royston in front with a beautiful strike from the edge of the D.

Royston III 1 Saffron Walden IV 6
THE scoreline did not reflect how well the Ladies played on Saturday.
Laura Price played a strong game in defence and along with Charlotte Joyce and Aggie they prevented more goals going in.
Royston were unlucky not to convert several efforts from short corners with Harriet Johnson, Emma Whitaker and Lisa Thompson all having chances on goal.
In the second half Johnson got one for Royston, but it was only a consolation.
