Burley Trojans 2   Rothwell Juniors 5   10.2.08

The Under 10's girls travelled to league leaders Burley Trojans in a game that was a 6 pointer knowing nothing but a win would do if they were to continue challenging for the top spot.

And after a very tight 10 minutes with the game going from end to end Haley broke free and fired the juniors in front 0-1 the juniors then started to create chance after chance and only poor finishing let them down on 3 occasions Haley twice firing wide and Beth when they both should have scored.

Burley still kept battling away and Lauren in goals had to make a couple of good saves to keep Burley out Rothwells midfield were having to work hard with Nichole,Leah and Maddie all having good games.

And when Burley broke clear and equalised just before half time to make it 1-1.Were those missed chances going to cost the Juniors only time would tell.

The girls were given a little telling off at half time and told all their hard work in the first half would mean nothing if they didn't focus on the second half it and keep their concentration.

And this they did and within 5 minutes a good ball by Maisie put Haley free and she in turn found Ellie Mae who put Rosie free and she made no mistake to put the Juniors 1-2 in front

The girls were still having to work hard and were playing some lovely football at times and it wasn't long before they increased their lead again Haley scoring from close range 1-3.  

Burley were not going to give up with out a fight and a mistake in defence by Nichloe let in Burley and they scored to make it 2-3

Were the juniors going to throw all their hard work away ,no they again started to knock the ball about and went 2-4 in front after a good strike by Maddie.

Beth and Maisie were putting in some fine tackling Leah then won the ball in midfield and put Maddie free who in turn played a 1-2 with Ellie Mae before crossing the ball into the middle where the hard working Haley made no mistake to seal the win for the juniors with a fine strike thus completing her hat trick.

A great win for the girls and well done to all.
