Maidenhead U13 Girls were runners up in the Berkshire County Girls Annual 5 a side Futsal Tournament on Saturday 19 Jan.

Against extremely tough opposition the Maidenhead U13 girls didn’t concede a goal throughout the entire competition (8, 8 minute matches by the end) until the last 30 seconds of the final where they went 1-0 down to winners Thatcham Town.

Maidenhead U13 Girls topped their group by beating AFC Reading, Wargrave and Laurel Park and drawing 0-0 against Tilehurst and Thatcham Town. In the pool, goals were scored by Rebecca Hesketh, Georgina Evans, Daniela Yakubovich and Emily McMaster (2).

In the Quarter and Semi Final both games ended 0-0 and Maidenhead won both on penalty shootouts with calm heads from the 3 penalty takers of Lily Gibson, Sofia Lacey and Emily McMaster.

3 girls shared the Goalkeeping duties on the day and Lily May Shepherd was a star throughout!

The tournament was played in a great spirit overall and was an interesting and different football experience.
