Leeds United Women comfortably beat local West Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield Town Women at the BD Community Stadium in Garforth, making it five wins on the bounce to begin the new season.
This FA WNL Cup Group T match was dominated by the Whites from start to finish, and the final 3-0 scoreline was more than deserved for Simon Wood's side, who have been in fine form in the first few weeks of the campaign.
Speaking after the match, Wood was quick to praise not just the quality of his side but also their mindset.
"We're pleased in the fact that I think the messaging we've been giving to the players since last week against Chorley was, "the Cup's got to be a healthy distraction," the manager began, discussing what he said to his side in the build up.
"And what we've got is obviously eyes on the league, because we've started the league campaign really, really well and we didn't want this to be something that derailed us a little bit from that.

Leeds United Women take to another Yorkshire derby on Sunday, welcoming Huddersfield Town Women to the BD Community Stadium in the FA WNL Cup Group Stage.
Ahead of the Group T fixture, goalkeeper and summer signing Holly Mears previewed the clash against the West Yorkshire rivals.
"I'm excited I think it's going to be good test for the team which we are all ready for," the new recruit began. "I think we'll put out a strong performance and hopefully get a positive result.
"I'm expecting a challenge from Huddersfield as they were newly promoted so I'm expecting lots of shots and a lot to do which I think will provide us with a strong test and challenge us as a team."
The fixture is only the Whites' second on home turf so far this campaign, after trips to Chester-le-Street, Chorley and Halifax made up three of the first four on the schedule.

Toafofoa Sipley will miss the rest of the Super League season after suffering a leg fracture.
The 31-year-old prop picked up the injury in last Tuesday's 38-24 win over reigning Super League champions Hull KR.
Head coach Sam Burgess delivered the injury update speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside in the aftermath of Sunday's 34-24 win over Huddersfield Giants.
"Unfortunately Toff has fractured his leg, so he is going to miss the rest of the season, which is a big loss," said Burgess.
Sipley has made 17 appearances for the Wire so far this Super League campaign, scoring four tries as the club sits two points off the top of the table in third with three games of the regular season left.

A blue plaque is set to be installed in Halifax in honour of former England striker Frank Worthington.
Worthington, who won eight England caps and scored twice for the national team, began his career at Huddersfield Town before playing for Leicester City, Bolton, Birmingham City, Southampton and Leeds United in a career spanning 25 years.
An initial fundraising target to purchase the plaque was hit within days of the campaign being launched by Halifax Civic Trust.
John Peters, volunteer and committee member for the trust, said the plaque would provide the community with "a way to remember" Worthington - who is believed to be Halifax's only ever capped England player.
"A lot of the blue plaque recognition has been for sort of industrialists and politicians - my thought was to see if we could make some of the nominees a little more relatable," Peters said.

AFC Wimbledon are competing in League One for the second consecutive season, having secured safety after finishing 19th, four points clear of the drop zone. They secured promotion to the third tier in 2025, via the playoffs, ending their three-year stay in League Two.
The Dons' season started with a penalty shootout win against Newport County in the League Cup after a 1-1 draw in ordinary time.
Their league campaign however got off to a tough start last weekend, with Wimbledon losing 3-0 away to Huddersfield Town. They come into this weekend's game off the back of a 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient in the EFL Trophy, after conceding an 89th-minute equaliser.
The Dons claimed the bragging rights over the Royals in the league last season, beating Reading 1-2 at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in August last year before following up with a 3-2 win at The Cherry Red Records Stadium in February.
Reading did however claim a 2-1 win over the Dons in a League Cup second-round clash.

The Giants made the announcement at half-time in their Super League fixture against Catalans Dragons at the Accu Stadium, which has been their home since 1994.
They let fans in for free to mark the occasion and hope the supporters will follow them the 10 miles to Dewsbury's 5,100-capacity stadium, despite the mixed reaction in the ground at the news.
Director Rebecca Jackson, who is the grand-daughter of owner Ken Davy, claimed the Giants will spend over £10m upgrading the Flair Stadium and said their ultimate aim is to return to a new home in Huddersfield.
Jackson told Sky Sports: "The Huddersfield Giants will be moving to the Dewsbury Flair Stadium for the medium term.

Port Vale have signed striker Tyreece Simpson on a one-year deal.
Simpson, 24, was available on a free transfer after he left League One side Stevenage at the end of last season - and he has agreed to drop into League Two with the Valiants, who were relegated from the third tier in April.
St Kitts and Nevis international Simpson is an Ipswich Town academy product but has, since leaving Portman Road, had permanent spells with Huddersfield Town and Stevenage as well as loan spells at Swindon Town, Northampton Town and Colchester United.
He missed all of last term injured, having suffered a ruptured Achilles in pre-season, as Stevenage reached the League One play-offs and he was among seven senior players to leave the club at the end of their contracts.
Vale have made him their eighth signing of a busy summer, having already recruited Lewis Montsma, Jasper Moon, Max Watters, Aaron McGowan, Kyle Dempsey, Matthew Craig and Jackson Smith.

In 1955, Sunderland embarked on an international tour for the first time since the pre-Second World War trip to Spain in 1935.
The North American tour was scheduled to last just under a month and would include nine matches in all, with four against Huddersfield Town, as well as games against Nuremberg, the Montreal All-Stars, the American Soccer League All-Stars and Philadelphia Uhrik Truckers. The venues included Ebbets Field, the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team, as well as stadiums in New York and Detroit in the USA, while Montreal, Winnipeg and Toronto made up the Canadian venues.
As the tour drew to a close on this day 69 years ago, Sunderland were preparing to take on Huddersfield for the fourth and final time. Having beaten them 3 – 2 in New York just under a month earlier, and drawn the other two meetings, Sunderland were looking for the victory that would categorically give them the bragging rights in the four-game series over their fellow First Division rivals.
Detroit was bathed in a searing 86-degree heat as a crowd of more than 7,000 gathered to watch two teams weakened by injury. Huddersfield were without Glazzard, while Sunderland were missing South African Ted Purdon and Ken Chisholm, who had both been amongst the goals.
The game had a little extra spice added even before kick-off. The two sides had played each other the previous day in Toronto in what turned out to be a fiercely competitive encounter.

Leeds Rhinos finished the regular season with a 56-10 victory that ended Huddersfield Giants' hopes of making the cut for the top four.
The Giants began the day knowing a win at Laund Hill and defeat for York Valkyrie away to bottom club Barrow Raiders would see them join Wigan Warriors, Leeds and St Helens in the extended top-four play-off series.
That faint hope was quashed in the opening nine minutes as Leeds took control through tries from Lucy Murray, Liv Whitehead and Kaiya Glynn, all converted by Mel Howard.
Tries from Becky Grady and Faye Barraclough, either side of a Connie Boyd score for Leeds, brought some hope to the home side, but the Rhinos ran away with the game as Shannon Brown crashed over and Boyd scored her second to make it 34-10 at half-time.
The second half was a procession as Lois Naidole scored a try against her former club, Evie Cousins marked her return to action with two more, and Whitehead scored her own second to secure second place for Rhinos and condemn Giants to the bottom four play-offs.
