Maidenhead U12 Girls finished the season with a big win over a strong Wargrave team. It was great to see injured players returning to play (Laila Knowles and Emily McCartney) and support (Grace Gibson) what is turning out to be a very talented team. Playing in the sunshine again, at last, was great for kids and parents alike.

The first Maidenhead score (an own goal by Wargrave) was caused by attacking pressure and speed from Lily Gibson and the first half finished a tight 3-2 up to Maidenhead. Great performances from all of the girls in the second half with an attitude of never stopping and high energy meant Maidenhead scored 4 goals in the last 15 minutes. Sofia Lacey scored a penalty with the last kick of the match to take her tally to 2 goals and Emily McMaster found the net 5 times in the match. Two of these were identical and set up by great passes from the wing from Rebecca Hesketh.

Some of the girls are celebrating the end of the season with a trip to the waterpark at Liquid Leisure organised by social organiser Jennie Knowles.

Big thanks to Andy McCartney our coach for the first time this season, His coaching and the girls attitude, effort and fun focus means it’s been an enjoyable season for everyone involved. We now take a break from matches for a month until summer 5/6 a side tournaments
