Today was the last game of the season and a rematch against Shinfield. The pitch wasn’t icy this time, but the weather couldn’t have been much worse – cold wind driving snow across the pitch.

Warming up?

The first half saw goals from Emily and Rebecca, but Shinfield managed to get a couple as well. The second half was also quite even, but with a few opportunities just missed by Maidenhead and a frozen goalie having to take time out to warm up, the score ended 4-6 to Shinfield. Emily and Sophia scored the other two for Maidenhead.

Well done for all the girls for turning up and being so keen on a very cold day! Player of the week went to Oonagh for brave play despite a sore knee.

From the coach: “Amazing play, no subs, down to 8 second half and also Oonagh had a busted knee. It was crazy cold.”

Spot the ball…

The team was:  Caitlin Bennett, Ellie Spicer, Emily McMaster, Lily Gibson, Lily May Shepherd, Sofia Lacey, Rebecca Hesketh, Daniela Yakubovich, Matilda Walker, Oonagh McCartney, Jess Buckley, Georgina Evans.

Having lost 3-0 and 4-0 in the league and the cup respectively in their previous meetings with Caversham Black Swans this season, Maidenhead knew they were in for a tough game.

However, this time Maidenhead managed to score and in fact scored 6 goals with a hat-trick apiece for Lily Gibson and Emily McMaster, with one of Emily’s goals coming from a penalty.

A really exciting game against Shinfield today!

After being down 0-2 at half time, the team came back to win the game 4-2.

Brilliant effort from the whole team and great spirit to come back from behind.
