Maidenhead U14 Girls progress to two Cup Finals

Maidenhead U14 Girls won 2 semi finals over successive weekends in March to progress to the U14 Girls Berks & Bucks FA Cup final AND the U14 Girls Berkshire County Girls Football League Cup Final.

Sat 14th March –

Maidenhead U14 Girls went through to the final of the Berkshire County Girls Football League Cup after beating rivals Tilehurst Panthers with a two nil win. Big credit to Kate Lee in goal and all the defence for keeping a clean sheet.
With a significant improvement on the previous weeks performance there were a large number of very close attempts on goal – thankfully two of which found the back of the net courtesy of Becky Tinnelly and Emily McMaster earning the u14s a well earned place in the cup final.

Sat 7th March – Berks & Bucks FA County Cup

Maidenhead U14 Girls won a penalty shootout (Emily McMaster saving 3 pens) after they’d somehow squandered a 2-0 lead to finish the game 3-3! Rebecca Hesketh scored 2 cracking goals in a new position playing up front and Becky Tinnelly scored the other.

If this wasn’t impressive enough they also sit at the top of the league still, 2 points clear with a game in hand. The girls are breaking new ground and making history for the club as they remain firmly at the top of the league and have now confidently won their place in both the Berkshire And Bucks and Berks cup finals.

A truly outstanding achievement that has not only impressed and thrilled the coaching team and parents alike but also caught the attention of many visiting teams and managers.

STOP PRESS 16 March 2020: It appears that all grassroots football MAY now be suspended 🙁

It may well be the end of the season. It’s been magnificent and the U14 girls have played brilliantly – roll on next season! 🙂

Into 2 cup finals and top of the league with a game still in hand isn’t a bad way to finish the season if it’s been suspended due to CV19…..
