🟠⚫️ Match Report — Howdenclough U12 Lionesses vs Beacon

Today the Lionesses travelled to Beacon and were greeted by a pitch that looked more like a ski slope than a football field. With the downhill run in the first half, the message was simple: execute your finishes and make the slope work for you.

Despite the ball rolling out of play countless times, Millie Maud reacted quickest on the attacking end, finding the opener and putting us 1–0 up.

Second Half — Uphill Battle

Turning around meant climbing the slope, literally and figuratively. At half‑time the instruction was clear:
Find easy passes. Conserve energy. Stay disciplined.

Beacon pushed hard downhill, but our defence stepped up massively — winning challenges, staying organised, and refusing to let the pressure break them. It became a tight, even contest, and the coaches knew a second goal would be crucial.

Ten minutes before the end, Ellie delivered a brilliant cross, finding Millie Glyde perfectly positioned to slot home and secure the 2–0 victory.

Final Score: 2–0 Howdenclough

A tough away performance, handled with maturity and grit.
Great unbeaten start to the season

Girls of the Game

• Away Girl of the Game — Ellie
As a winger, she put in a huge defensive shift. Tireless, disciplined, and brave.
• Joint Home Girls of the Game — Freya & Summer
Both were relentless. Won every ball, never backed down, and set the tone for the team’s fight.

3-2 Clough Win

POM Evie, she put a real shift in on the left wing and should really have scored at least one. She was involved in the build up for every goal.

Goals x2 Ella scored 2 excellent goals and deserved a penalty too.
Goals x1 Ams class work on the right wing, versatile as always.

Felt more like a war than a game lol, very tough we went behind early came back before going behind again. But we never stopped never gave up and didn’t let them get on top of us. I felt we deserved the win today against a very solid opponent.

Very proud of all the team today they kept their heads and played with discipline. The defence and Eden again excellent at the back strength pace and fitness making the difference again.

Well played Clough.

LS27 1 v Clough 2

A very impressive win this morning in tough conditions.

I thought the whole team managed the game superbly and deservedly won.

It was always going to be a game of two halves with the strong wind pinning us in the first half, but we defended well as a unit and took the lead in the game with a great through ball and a composed finish from Mollie.

LS27 with the wind behind them scored a somewhat fortuitous equaliser, but the good thing this week was heads remained high and we cleverly saw out the first half.

At half time we spoke about using the wind to our advantage now and from the kick off pin them back and apply pressure, we executed that plan to perfection.

Countless attacks leading to multiple corners and the pressure told, we got our goal through a super strike from Violette.

Last 10 minutes they pushed for the equaliser and we stood firm in our defence to see out the game. Luckily the goal not given didn’t go against us.

We have quickly moved on from last week which is something we talked about and shown once again when we turn up we are a very good team.

It’s 7 points this season on the road in the league and back joint top. We have some tough games coming up and similar to today will be very close, so plenty of focus, determination and especially togetherness.

Big well done to the whole squad today, let’s build on this win, take the confidence and continue our impressive league campaign.

Opposition player of the match: Harlie, much more composed today, commanding and kept it simple. Well deserved.

Coaches player of the match: we have it to the whole team today, well done everybody.

Training Wednesday, let’s focus & train hard no letting up ⚽️⚽️

U14 LIONESSES SEPTEMBER POTM...

Bethany Renshaw

September was a brilliant month for Bethany where she showed she is a real team player, tenacious in defence & now adding attacking options with assists from her right back position to help the team pick up valuable points.

Following a great pre season Bethany went into the new league season firing and that has shown on the pitch where she has grown as an important player within the team.

I know how hard Bethany works and the her efforts are paying off. Playing and training twice a week Bethany is really dedicated to improving her all round game.

Bethany is confidently running with the ball and setting up the attack which is a real addition to her already solid defensive game, I am personally very proud of the player she has become and hopefully she continues to grow moving forward helping the team to be successful.

3-2 loss for Clough

POM Eden, played outside of goals and really made that left foot count scoring and assisting.

OPOM Amberley should have scored and worked her socks off by herself up front.

Goals

Niamh x1
Eden x1

All I can say is we deserved a result today. Considering we played nearly the full game with 10 players and went down to 9 for large parts. We were never outplayed and conceded a couple of soft goals one being an own goal. Hopefully next week we will have the full squad and will get a result.

It will be nice to play at home at some point too.

🟠⚫️ Match Report — U8 Lionesses vs Queensbury

The Lionesses faced Queensbury today — a side we already knew were top‑class opponents after our pre‑season meeting. That meant one thing: we had to be sharp from the first whistle.

First Quarter — Slow start, uphill battle

Queensbury came out flying, pressing hard and taking advantage of our early hesitation. Three quick goals put us on the back foot, and it was clear the girls needed time to adapt to the pace and movement of the opposition.

Settling In — Fight, composure, and our own chances

Once the nerves settled, the Lionesses started to show their true game:

• Defending properly
• Finding cleaner passes
• Creating real opportunities

Then came a moment of pure quality — Lena, fearless as ever, drove down the wing on a solo run and finished with total confidence. No doubt. No hesitation. Just class.

Queensbury responded with a strike that no keeper at this age saves, but the girls didn’t drop their heads. Instead, Jasmine kept battling, stayed switched on, and got herself into the perfect position to score. A proper poacher’s finish.

More chances followed, missing by inches, but the effort and intent were exactly what we wanted to see.

⭐ Girl of the Game — Lena

Her fearless attitude, her drive, and her impact on the game made a huge difference. She set the tone for the comeback and showed real leadership through her actions.
