Taylor on the double as City continue strong league start

Bath City Women maintained their strong start to the 2026/27 league season with a 4-0 win over Paulton Rovers Ladies this afternoon at Cannon Clarke Stadium @Twerton Park.

City dominated possession in an otherwise scrappy first half. Adella Clarke had twice gone close before Tara Taylor broke the deadlock on 17 minutes with a low right-foot shot from 19 yards. City couldn’t build on this opener but came out after the break with renewed purpose and doubled their lead within just three minutes. A poor clearance from Paulton’s keeper picked out Brooke Steventon-Smith and she took a touch before lifting the ball into the net from 25 yards. City made it 3-0 on 66 minutes when Paulton only half-cleared a Taylor corner and Beth Edwards curled a stunning 25-yard into the top corner. And Taylor completed the Romans fifth league win in six outings when her 77th minute cross deceived the keeper and found the net.
