Maidenhead Girls came 2nd at the 13th May Sandhurst 7-a-side tournament, losing 1-0 to eventual winners Wargrave in the final match of the day. 8 teams took part.

Maidenhead Girls won matches against Ascot (2-0), Petersfield (2-0), Shinfield (2-0) and Wokingham and Emmbrook (3-0) – in these four matches the goalie did brilliantly to keep a clean sheet. Maidenhead Girls also lost to Wargrave in the pool stages so they were deserved winners of the tournament.

Team on the day: Emily McCartney (capt), Lily Gibson (1 goal), Rebecca Hesketh, Laila Knowles, Sofia Lacey (1 goal) , Matilda Walker and Emily McMaster (7 goals including one hat-trick).

The girls improved through the day through the six matches. The benefits of Friday night training showed through too. They practiced corners on Friday night this week and one of the best goals of the day today way a great header by Emily McMaster from a corner taken by Sofia Lacey.
