Maidenhead U13 Girls started the season with a bang with a 6-1 over Tilehurst Panthers Reds. What made the result all the more remarkable was that last season we lost both Berkshire League Division 1 matches to Tilehurst by an aggregate score of 7-1.
Emily McMaster started things rolling with a penalty, swiftly followed by a score from Rebecca Hesketh. Lily Gibson then scored a brilliant hat trick. To finish things off, Sofia Lacey scored a remarkable volley from distance…..with her left foot.
Today wasn’t about the goalscorers only though. The defensive unit of Emily McCartney, Dani Yakubovich and Laila Knowles was strong, plus two girls covered goal keeping duties with our regular keeper away and substitutes bought energy when they arrived.
After the summer off, and just one full training session for pre-season, the girls are back with a bang!
