MRFC U13s 4 v 1 Dormanstown Carbon
Grassroots is back and the sun was shining as we welcomed Dormanstown Carbon to the airport on Saturday morning.

Both teams started brightly and chances were seen at both ends. Bea broke through on 7 minutes and found the back of the net.

We kept the pressure on and Liv followed with a gamble shot, after a rebound from Dormanstown defence, it felt like slow motion and playing for it to make it over the line!!

Dormanstown threatened with a cracking shot going just over the bar.

Lily then played the ball out which Bea collected and ran half the pitch before slotting home again. 3-0 at HT

Dormanstown hit back early in the second half with a cracking shot that received applause from both sets of supporters - top bins 👏🏻

The rest of the second half was end to end with chances for both teams but no one finding their way through. Until Bea went back in for the last 5 minutes and caused some havoc in front and was rewarded with her hatrick.

Lovely game to the start the season, all played in the right spirit and everyone enjoying been back on the pitch on a Saturday morning

Redcar Athletic U10 vs Earharts

Picking up where we left off from our friendly on Wednesday - the girls started strongly and immediately took control of the game, on a windy day in Redcar. Playing into the wind, our newest recruit Lilah worked hard up front and quickly got her name on the scoresheet, from a nice ball through from Eleanor.

Things have definitely clicked in holding their formation, and their scanning and passing is hugely improved in recent weeks. As the game ebbed and flowed, we maintained composure and with the change of ends and the wind advantage, we continued to control the match in large parts.

Ayla looked great coming forward from the back, Bridget pressing hard in midfield and Lottie pulling off several important saves.

The final key moment and goal of the game came from Bridget turning the ball over, passing out to Eleanor, to supply an inch perfect cross for Lilah to bag another poacher’s goal. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of them combining over the course of the season.

U14 Pre season friendly match reports

Following the tournament triumph the girls have had two pre-season friendlies in the build up to the start of the season.

First up was was Kader last weekend where the girls were joined by Thornaby FC players to ensure the game could go ahead as scheduled. The game was won with a Mega hatrick and a Sadie wonder strike. Thanks to the Thornaby FC U14 Girls for joining us.

Today was an away fixture to South Park Rangers Belles. Whilst the girls gave a great account of themselves they just couldnt convert any of their chances created and walked away with a 1-0 defeat. Player of the match goes to Alexis who put a superb shift in at fullback.

A bit of rest and finishing practice will see the girls ready for the start of the season.

U14 Girls - Proud winners of the Barry Thomas Memorial Cup

Middleton travelled the short distance to South Park Rangers in sweltering conditions to continue their preparations for the upcoming season.

A change in format was required in the group stages as a team failed to turn up. This saw each team play each other twice. Middleton cruised through the group stages scoring 11 goals without conceeding. Goal of the group stage goes to Bea who scored a wonderful solo goal in the final group game.

Progression to the semi finals saw a resolute Middleton team thwart Sunderland RCA attacks. All the girls were fully committed to working for each other to ensure another game without conceding. The winning goal came from goalkeeper Athina's second assist of the day, which saw Poppy race clear to calmly slot home the winner.

The final was one of real drama as the girls had to dig deep as the efforts of the day were really beginning to show. In the middle of the first half calamity at the back saw the first goal of the day conceded. It looked like that might be enough for Middlesbrough to get their hands on the trophy, but in the dying seconds Bethany squared the ball across the box for Lola to tap home from 2 yards.

With the final going to penalties it was anyones to take. First up was Ava who calmy slotted it home and then Poppy who also expertly found the net. With the girls 2-1 up Athina pulled off heroics to save Middlesbroughs second penalty leaving the final penalty to Bethany who nervously converted.

True grit, determination and team spirit from the girls who deserve a good rest tonight! All the girls played their part today and it was fantastic that they all got to feature in the final.

Finally, thanks to South Park Rangers Belles U14 Girls for hosting a fantastic tournament and supplying us with a young mascot and refereeing assistant!
