Tyrone Mings 4-2 Bassett

A tough away day awaited the U15s as they travelled to Pomphrey Hill Playing Field to take on last season's league winners, Tyrone Mings.

Bassett faced a challenging start to the game, with injuries and player unavailability leaving the team short defensively. Unfortunately, a couple of errors were punished by the hosts, who were quick to capitalise and establish an early 3-0 lead. Mings' right winger caused problems throughout the game and proved to be a constant threat.

Bassett struggled to find their rhythm in the first half and were also guilty of being wasteful in front of goal, with chances created but not converted.

The second half was a much-improved performance. A change in formation gave Bassett more attacking threat and allowed the girls to play with greater confidence going forward. They won the second half and, on another day, could have scored several more goals.

Two excellent strikes from Ava gave Bassett a route back into the game and changed the momentum. However, another misplaced pass into midfield allowed Mings to capitalise once again and extend their lead.

There were also positive moments away from the scoreline, with Lily C and Ruby both making their Bassett debuts. Ruby capped off an encouraging first appearance by earning Player of the Match alongside Ava, whose two goals were a real highlight of the second half.

It was a tough day for Bassett against last season's league champions, but there were plenty of positives to take from the defeat. The improved second-half performance, attacking threat and determination to fight back showed the potential within this group.

The girls will take those positives forward and continue to work on the areas that need improvement.
