Winners!

A Maidenhead Girls U11s team consisting of 3 U10s and 5 U11s won the Tilehurst U11s Girls tournament in style on Sun 10 June. 20 teams entered the tournament including 3 Tilehurst U11 girls teams…

Players were: U10s Maddie Sturt, Sophie McMaster, and Millie Cleary. U11s were Jess Buckley, Lily Gibson, Amelie Checkley, Grace Gibson and Emily McMaster.

The team were unbeaten through 11 matches in total including 9 group games playing teams including Laurel Park, Kew Park, Ashton, Thatcham and Newbury and Wokingham. They managed to win three games 5-0 within the 7 minute matches….Maidenhead beat Wargrave 2-0 in the semi final and won the final 1-0 against a strong Tilehurst team with a cracking solo goal from Maddie Sturt.

It was a remarkable achievement as some of the girls hadn’t played in many tournaments before and for some of them they were team mates for the first time.

Overall the team scored 28 goals and conceded just 2 through brilliant goalkeeping and great defence rotating – our defence was rock solid! Top scorer was Emily McMaster with 13, followed closely by Maddie Sturt with 10 and Lily Gibson with 5. Well done to all the girls and supporting parents. Next Tournament up is Maidenhead…..

Footy fun!
