Under 14 girls football

Tonight was the start of the U14’s girls league! The girls played against an extremely strong Hetton side, a very tight game had us peppering the Hetton goal and a combination of very good goalkeeping and bad luck meant it was still 0-0 at half time. The second half started much the same but with 5 minutes left the ball was threaded through to Emmi Weiss on the left and a well driven shot nestled into the near post! And that’s how the game finished 1-0 to CVEA ?? (See more)
