Girls Lose Out On Trip To Barnsley
Blizzard Conditions At Girls Last Match
Northamptonshire Girls Under 16’s travelled to play Sheffield & Hallamshire at Worsborough Bridge FC on Sunday 6th April with an outside chance of winning the Midland Counties League Championship.
Needing to win by five clear goals expectation was high amongst the squad, but the dream was shattered on a bumpy pitch and in blizzard conditions.
Northamptonshire never really got into the games and were outplayed by a Sheffield side who overcame the conditions better than Northants. Both sides tried to play football but the uneven bounce affected us more than Sheffield.
Two goals in either half saw Sheffield run out 4-0 winners without Northants ever really threatening the Sheffield goal. The result saw Sheffield & Hallamshire finish as Championship winners.
The final fixture of the season sees eight of today’s squad ineligible for next season. Special awards for their outstanding commitment and dedication to the county side went to: Nicole Coull, Kim Farrow, Abigail Fitzgerald, Shana Haynes, Nicole Tinto, Sophie Walker, Megan Roberts
