Our Wildcats girls’ section enjoyed an undefeated weekend of matches and here is the round-up.

***

The U11s travelled to Martock for their first away game in the league.

Despite dominating the first period and hitting the post three times, it was 0-0 at half-time.

The intensity continued in the second half and the Wildcats made the breakthrough with a well taken goal from Isla M.

Another goal followed shortly afterwards for Emilia S from an unfortunate error by the Martock goalkeeper.

The third goal for Wildcats was another impressive strike from Isla M to cap off a player-of-the-day performance and an impressive first victory.

The U12s were home to Bishops Lydeard at Rockwell Green.

After a slow start, the Wildcats started to dominate possession and found themselves 1-0 up through Scarlett H after a goalmouth scramble.

Keeping the pressure on, the Wildcats went 3-0 up with a quick brace from Iyla J although Lydeard did pull one back before half-time.

The second half started in an assured fashion and, through good team play, Mary H added two goals to extend their lead and put the game out of reach.

A 5-1 win was richly deserved, and player of the match went to Tallilah T for a stand-out double save and outstanding play throughout.

Back-to-back victories are testament to the new squad but a special mention has to be made for defenders Darcey C, Evelyn S, Peyton A, Maddeline H-W and Edie L for their efforts to work the back line with composure and allow the attacking players to express themselves.

 The U14 had their first home game against a determined and attacking Huish Tigers at Court Fields School.

The Wildcats struggled to get a foothold in the game in the first half, finding themselves 2-0 down before starting to play their quick attacking game and using the available space.

The Wildcats came out of the blocks in the second half and soon found themselves back in the game then level with a couple of really well worked goals with Emilia S.

The last ten minutes were keenly fought with chances at both ends but the full-time whistle went, and a draw was a fair result.

The work rate and spirit from the whole squad to fight back into the game was admirable and Sophie W in goal earned player-of-the-match by making several outstanding saves.
