Royal Wootton Bassett Town Under 12 Girls produced an outstanding performance to secure a convincing 13-0 away victory against Swindon Spitfires in the North Wilts League Cup.

From the first whistle, the girls were completely dominant, playing some fantastic football and putting their opponents under constant pressure. The team moved the ball brilliantly, combining with some lovely interplay, creating numerous opportunities and showing real confidence and quality throughout.

The goals were shared across the team, with Emilie leading the way with an excellent four-goal haul. Mya and Esmae both helped themselves to superb hat-tricks, while Annabelle added two goals and Lucy also got on the scoresheet to complete an emphatic afternoon in front of goal.

As well as the impressive scoreline, it was particularly pleasing to give some of the less experienced girls valuable additional playing time. They all took their opportunities brilliantly, contributing to a fantastic team performance and showing just how much strength and depth there is within the squad.

It was an outstanding display from start to finish, with 13 goals scored, none conceded and some excellent football played along the way.

The Under 14s produced a superb team performance too to secure an impressive 6-1 away victory against Malmesbury Youth in the cup.

Bassett made the perfect start, taking the lead after just five minutes when Lauren's excellent long throw found Christina, who calmly finished. The girls continued to play some lovely football, creating several dangerous attacks before doubling their advantage on the 30-minute mark. Gracie delivered a superb corner, which Christina met with a brilliant header to make it 2-0 at half-time.

Five minutes into the second half, Gracie added a third with a free kick from around 20 yards, which bounced in front of the goalkeeper before finding the net. Malmesbury pulled one back following a scramble in the box, but Bassett responded immediately. Christina completed her hat-trick with a wonderful looping finish over the goalkeeper.

Lauren then made it 5-1, smashing home after another excellent Gracie corner, before Gracie rounded off the scoring with a composed finish after being played through by Chloe.

It was a fantastic all-round performance, with the team showing excellent football, teamwork and determination. The second-half substitutions also provided valuable playing time, and everyone contributed to a deserved cup victory.

The Under 15s also produced an outstanding attacking performance to secure an emphatic 8-0 home league victory over Ashton Keynes, a side they had not faced since Under 12 level.

Bassett made a flying start, taking the lead inside two minutes when Elsie drove forward and found Ava, who fired home. Mia's introduction brought a shift in midfield and helped Bassett find their attacking rhythm. Ava then turned provider, setting up Mia to make it 2-0 following some excellent football.

Just five minutes later, Skye's quick throw-in found Mia, who produced a sublime strike into the top corner. Mia then turned provider on the stroke of half-time, squaring the ball for Eryn to finish and make it 4-0.

The second half continued in the same fashion. A pinpoint through ball from Lily L sent Mia through to score her second, before she set up Poppy at the far post for Bassett's sixth. Following another excellent team move involving Eryn, Mia pounced on a loose ball, with Ava getting the final touch to make it seven. Mia rounded off a terrific morning by scoring her fourth of the game, calmly finishing after Poppy turned provider.

It was a fantastic all-round performance, with Bassett showing quality in possession, attacking intent and excellent teamwork. The victory also secured a second consecutive clean sheet.

Unfortunately the Under 17s' league game at Tyrone Mings Volcanos was postponed due to the opposition being unable to field a side. However, they managed to squeeze in a friendly fixture against fellow league side Malmesbury Youth who they beat 3-1 courtesy of goals from Eliza (x2).
