A fantastic 5–0 home victory for our Under-12s against Marlborough, with an excellent second-half performance from the girls.

Bassett started slowly and found it difficult to break Marlborough down in the first half. With 9-a-side football still very new to the team, the girls took some time to settle into their formation, while a difficult pitch also made it harder to play their usual football.

Once they found their rhythm, though, Bassett began to play some lovely football and really took control of the game, producing an excellent second-half display.

Esmae led the scoring with a brilliant hat-trick, while Annabelle also found the net. Shaina completed the scoring with her first goal for the team.

Player of the Match went to Mya, who showed excellent discipline and understanding of the team's structure throughout. Lucy also deserves a special mention for an equally disciplined performance.

A brilliant effort from the whole team and plenty of positives as the girls continue adapting to 9-a-side football.
