Five star Bassett shine at FOF

The U15s secured an excellent 5–0 away victory against Future of Football, despite missing several players due to the school holidays. The reduced squad provided opportunities for players to step up and take on different positions.

Bassett started brightly, moving the ball well, winning the midfield battle and creating early chances. Poppy was unlucky not to score in the opening ten minutes when a goal-bound effort struck her and went over the bar.

The breakthrough came in the 20th minute following excellent play down the right, with Eryn unselfishly setting up Ava to finish confidently into the bottom corner. Seven minutes later, Ava added her second after Sienna's dangerous corner caused problems for the goalkeeper. Ava completed her first-half hat-trick shortly afterwards, finishing brilliantly into the top corner following another assist from Maya.

Bassett continued to play some excellent football after the break, with Izzy moving into midfield and the team linking up well through some impressive one-twos. Although there were further chances, decision-making in front of goal prevented the scoreline from becoming even more convincing.

Ava grabbed her fourth in the 56th minute after Lily L, playing in a new number 10 role, threaded through a lovely pass. Ava then turned provider, producing excellent skill on the byline before setting up Eryn to finish from close range and make it five.

It was a comfortable morning for the defensive line, who helped secure a clean sheet. It was also great to see Skye return following injury.

Izzy received the opposition's Player of the Match award, while Ava and Ruby were recognised as Bassett's Players of the Match.

The team now looked ahead to another home league fixture against Ashton Keynes next week.
