Maidenhead under 14 girls once again achieved another convincing victory against Ascot Emeralds on a very windy Saturday morning this weekend. Keeping them at the top of the league table for another week.

The girls got off to an uncharacteristically slow start against a much improved Ascot  resulting in the the first goal of the game to the visitors, leaving the blues one nil down – A first for this season.

The girls quickly responded with a strong run and convincing finish from top goalscorer Becky Tinnelly – it was level pegging in what was a slow and sloppy half which ended with Ascot scoring just before the half time whistle putting them to one up into the break.

Coach Andys halftime talk seemed to do the job and Maidenhead started the second half with considerably more focus and pace. With Charlie ‘poacher’ Potter scoring within the first three minutes of the second-half. This was followed by a second skilfully controlled goal from Potter.

The game now shifted into a different gear with a fantastic goal four from Emily McMaster (a deflection/own goal) and another beautifully controlled half volley from Tinnelly making it 5 for the blues – Finally the girls were showing the discipline and skills that we are now so used to seeing.

Goals six and seven were thanks to McMaster and striker Hattie Parkinson. This brought the full-time score to 7-2. Now that’s more like it girls.

It is worth noting the U14s were missing three key players this week – two of which being both goalkeepers!! Always a helpful addition to a football team!! So a special mention has to go out to Sofia Vicarelli for stepping up to the plate and playing in goal for the very first time of her fledgling football career.
