Hewitt scored all of her goals in a first half where Poppy Smith was also on target for the visitors.
Courtney Page added number five after the interval for an Airbus side which performed well in the absence of captain Abby Williams.

NFA 3 Northop Hall 1

After falling behind to an own goal, NFA recovered to be 2-1 up by half time thanks to finishes from Emily Jones and Ffion Evans.
In the second half, the brilliance of Hall keeper Bethan Thomas kept her side in the game, but she could not prevent Sade Benjamin heading in a decisive third from a Rachel Lloyd corner.

Report from NFA manager Andy Lloyd…

NFA started the game on the front foot and created several chances through quality football.
It was Northop Hall, however, who broke the deadlock when a ball over the top caused some confusion between defender and goalkeeper which ended with an own goal.
After this the NFA ladies upped their game again and were rewarded with an equaliser. After breaking through a very high defensive line, Emily Jones slipped the ball past the keeper into the corner.
The hosts controlled the game and continued their passing style, going 2-1 up with a through ball to Ffion Evans, who slotted beyond the goalkeeper. Half time 2-1 NFA.
Second half continued with NFA creating lots more chances and but for some brilliant goalkeeping from Bethan Thomas the game would have been over.
NFA persevered and got a corner. Rachel Lloyd whipped the ball over and it was Sade Benjamin who headed in at the far post. Plenty more chances for NFA but no more goals. Full time NFA 3-1. Good luck to Northop for the season and we will see you soon.
