The Under 13 girls travelled to Newbottle, near Houghton Le Spring on a bitterly cold night for their much anticipated cup final. A great crowd from Aycliffe encouraged the girls in a very tight game, but it was Lumley who made the break through and followed up with a second before half time. After a good half time team talk and a few tactical changes, the girls got to grips with the game in the second half.
However a rare Lumley attack caught the girls on the break and they got a third goal. The Aycliffe crowd needed something to cheer and Cora give them a much deserved goal. However once again Lumley stepped up their game and got a fourth, but the girls never gave up and with a few minutes to go Aycliffe produced the goal of the game when Leona made a defence splitting pass to Cora who hit a rasping drive that the keeper couldn’t hold and Lucy was at hand to prod the ball over the line Final score 2-4. The girls didn’t let anyone down on the night as they showed a great spirit and determination and were a credit to the club.
With only a few games left of this season we are looking to add to our squad in preparation for next season. If you are currently in year 8 and would like to join this group of girls ring Berni 07939 045242 or check out our web site www.naycafc.co.uk
