The Under 13s suffered an unfortunate 3-2 defeat to Nalgo Sports Eagles in the Wiltshire County Cup on Saturday, where they just missed out on a place in the semi-finals.

Bassett took the lead early on through Christina Croft, who went on a great driving run and beat the keeper.

However, the girls got a little too comfortable and conceded a sloppy goal that brought the score level.

Things started going downhill after that, and moments later, Nalgo were awarded a penalty due to an unlucky handball, which they converted.

At half time, the Blues were 2-1 down.

The girls showed great resilience in the second half, determined to find an equaliser.

Things didn't quite go to plan and Nalgo scored another, but Bassett kept going.

Tia Campbell was pushed up into midfield and made an instant impact. She drove towards goal and fired the ball home for her second of the season and gave the whole team hope of an equaliser.

Unfortunately, the girls just couldn't manage to find the back of the net, and the game finished 3-2. They will bounce back from this though, and there is still another cup to focus on.

Tia and Aamira were joint players of the match for constantly working hard and defending brilliantly together at the back.
