After two weeks without any football, the Under 13 girls finally got a game on Saturday morning, although the period of inactivity in the previous fortnight showed. The final score of 9-0 was a convincing one, but one or two girls looked to be lacking match fitness and by the end were a little leggy. Hopefully next week's game will go ahead against St Josephs, and give us another match in which to prepare for the cup semi final against Yorkshire Amateurs the week after.

The first half saw Wigton dominate, and take a 6-0 lead with a hat trick from Amy (after she had missed a couple of sitters!!), 2 goals from Chloe and one from Kate. However, despite being challenged at half time to go out and clear off the -16 goal difference the team had prior to this game, the girls could only muster a further three goals- Emma, Nicole and Emily- as they let Rothwell control the ball to easilly and didn't seem to want to fight as much for possession. This was still a good result though, helping us move up the table, and maintaining our 'unbeaten in purple' run!!! Girl of the game was Megan Hofmann who was a revelation in a new position at right back, and has given us extra options for defence in the future. Special thank-yous also to Megan Scanlon, Emily, Amy and Nicole for taking a turn in goal each.
