The Young Lionesses were two up in quarter of an hour, Denny Draper’s 12th-minute opener soon followed by an effort from Barry Town United’s Vera Jones.
Southampton’s Sophie Harwood made it 3-0 very early in the second half, Jones doubling her tally before the hour mark.
Leicester City’s Draper later followed suit, with Arsenal’s Isabella Fisher completing the scoring in the 89th minute.
