The Under 16s faced Tyrone Mings Youth Volcanoes on Saturday afternoon in a battle of second vs third place.

The Blues started off really well and took an early lead. Poppy passed a great through ball for Matilda to run onto, who smashed it home.

Tyrone Mings were looking threatening, but the girls defended well and battled hard to maintain their lead.

Sadly, before the break they conceded two late goals which knocked their confidence slightly.

Eliza and Tilly were working well down the wings, and not long into the second half, Tilly crossed a great ball into the box that was volleyed just wide.

Unfortunately, the opposition snatched two goals back not long after.

However, Bassett weren't deterred and got one back through Daisy Bundy, who volleyed the ball into the back of the net.

The Blues conceded again before the final whistle, with the game finishing 5-2, but the score doesn't reflect the game and all the girls should be proud of themselves.

Well done to player of the match Amber who was superb in defence.
