Royal Wootton Bassett Town Under 13 Girls got back to winning ways on Saturday, where they sealed a brilliant 5-1 victory over Trowbridge Wanderers Panthers in the North Wils League Cup.

The girls kicked off the game with a great team goal minutes in, but it was unfortunately ruled offside.

However, they kept pushing and eventually got the goal they deserved. Christina Croft drove down the pitch and found Emily Garett at the back post, who volleyed the ball home. 1-0 Bassett!

The Blues went into the second half 1 up and looking to extend their lead.

Ava Merwood-Palmer sent a lovely long ball up to Christina, who finished with ease.

Then Christina got a second by cutting in down the left side and slipping the ball past the keeper at her near post.

Trowbridge managed to nick a goal back by a beautiful strike that went top corner.

But not long after, Christina completed her hat-trick and the girls gained confidence again.

Maddie Gay sealed the win with a cool strike, showing great resilience after two disallowed goals.

The final score was 5-1 and it had been a great team performance from all the girls.

Player of the match went to Emily who was outstanding all game and caused the Trowbridge defence all sorts of problems with her trickery and dangerous crosses.
