Maidenhead U13 Girls beat Tilehurst Panthers 3-2 at home on Saturday 9th March in a tense and windy match. Captained by Dani Yakubovich, Maidenhead leapt to an early 2-0 lead with beautifully taken, skillful goals from Sasha Herridge and Lily Gibson. In gale force wind conditions Tilehurst fought back to 2-2 and then Sofia Lacey finished the game with a spectacular volley from 20 meters.

The victory was hard fought, and was especially pleasing as the girls were without both their official goalkeepers. Plus, two other players were also missing through flu/illness. Emily McCartney was girl of the game.
