The girls opened their campaign against league favourites Long Lane in a very competitive game that went to the wire.

Manager Shane said: Tough first game against a strong opponent but we are proud of the girls performance today.

I would just like to say what a great first game of the season.

I couldn't be anymore proud of each and everyone of the girls in there first game all together yes I know the result was gutting right near the end.

Well done to Alice for getting player of the match today.

Also a big well done to Ava playing in her first ever girls team match smashed it.

Club owner Craig also commented: Unlucky girls always a horrible feeling conceding late on in a game especially to a strong side like Long Lane, but very impressed with the team as a whole and kudos to Shane.

Some great saves from our keeper.

We can't wait to do it all over again next Sunday.less
