Maidenhead U14 Girls top Division 1, undefeated still, with a record 10-1 win at Ascot United on Saturday 12 October.

In very, very, wet conditions Maidenhead U14 girls focussed on maintaining possession and frequent back passing to reset play. They then demonstrated outstanding passing and control to score a number of goals as a result of 7/8/9 consecutive passes. Coach Andy wanted to try out a different formation with 3 up front and 3 at the back (Violet Kinston-Wheeler (captain for the day), Laila Knowles and Emily McCartney) with Dani Yakubovich in a sweeper role. It worked against this opposition but won’t necessarily work against every team in the league. Goals were scored by 5 different girls, really showing the attacking talent across the team. Becky Tinnelly (3), Emily McMaster (3), Charlie Potter (2), Hattie Parkinson (1), Georgina Evans (1).

The U14 girls are now 3 points clear in Division 1 of the Berkshire County Girls Football League – as the League now takes a short break with Cup matches.
