The under 14 girls continue to reign supreme with another impressive 6-1 win ,this time over last year’s Berks League Cup winners- Thatcham Town.

After a chilly and  scrappy start to the first half the girls quickly warmed up and found their rhythm with a perfectly timed volley into the net from Emily McMaster fed by a pinpoint accurate corner from Sofia Lacey. This was promptly followed by another from striker Charlie Potter and one from ‘goal machine’ Becky Tinnelly.

The second half saw a considerably more focused, disciplined and organised Maidenhead retaining 90% of the possession throughout with another two goals from Tinnelly (she just keeps on scoring hat tricks!) and one more from McMaster.

Lily May Shepherd had a great game out of goal for a change – really keeping their key striker quiet and Kate Lee played like she’s been part of the team for years when in fact it was her 3rd game. This was exceptionally helpful as 3 of the squad were unavailable or ill.

This win is  particularly impressive when looking at old score sheets from two seasons ago when the girls were conceding losses of 14 -1 against Thatcham Town. This result is not only testament to all of coach Andy’s hard work with the girls but also a clear indication of their growing talent and discipline on the pitch. Maidenhead under 14 girls are quickly  becoming the team to beat this season.

With this win they go sailing through into the semifinal of the Berkshire league girls football cup.
