The sun shone, the sky was blue and the grass was very green at Cobdown Sports & Social Club in May as Junior Reds Girls Under 12’s came to defend their Tina Marshall trophy from the previous season. Their opponents in the final were the same as last season – Castle Colts.
A fantastic game took place with all girls from both teams showing their skills and commitment to their teams. Castle Colts started very strongly yet it was Junior Reds that took the lead at 12 minutes into the game with a long range speculative shot from Libby Miller. Castle Colts shortly restored parity with a fine cross. Junior Reds winner came at the 25 minute mark with a long range “lob” over the advancing goalkeeper from Shay Bennett, to make the final score 2-1.
Thanks to Team Manager Peter Clarke and the Castle Colts girls for a great game again. See you next season in another final? Finally thanks to the KFLFL Committee and helpers for their hard work in organising 12 Cup Finals to the highest standard on the same day.
Well done girls a great achievement.
