U11s:AGSA A 10-0 AGSA BDerby day in Accrington and everyone was eagerly awaiting this clash of both AGSA teams yet despite a good effort from the girls in the B team they couldn't quite match their slightly elder counterparts. The game started well for the B team who pushed from the off but the first goal came on seven mins when Megan D brought the ball from defence and lashed in a shot past Amber K to make it 1-0. Two more goals from Carrie I followed, then a half volley from Hayley L made it 4-0 before Carrie I completed her hat-trick to make it 5-0 half time. The two teams changed their line ups in the second half but it was the same old story for the B team despite some good runs from Katie D, Jade S & Gemma G they couldn't quite get past keeper Lucy C. Vicky B was the first to score in the second half with a left foot drive into the bottom corner. Next Ciara B got her first goal since the begining of March, Vicky B got her second then Ciara - who was voted Player of the Match - got another before Millie C got number 10. If it hadn't been for the good saves from Sophie B in the second half which earned her Player of the Match for the B team the score could have been greater. ---- The Under 12s lost 1-5 to Lammack with Abigail Duxbury scoring for AGSA. ---- AGSA U14s v BarnoldswickThis was played on a small pitch which probably favoured us as we only had 10 players. After some early exchanges when both teams had chances, we went ahead after Lauran W set up Kerry B to finish clinically. The second goal quickly followed when Kerry B grabbed her second after a mix-up in the Barnoldswick defence. A third was added before half time when Megan S pounced on a poor clearance from the goalkeeper and hit a first time shot from 25 yards into an empty net. Half time: 3 – 0The second half continued in a similar vein and Lauran W finished coolly past the keeper. A fifth goal soon followed when Hannah F ran onto a through ball and slid it past the keeper. Hannah F got her second when she reacted fastest to a defensive slip. Megan S got her second goal when the replacement Barnoldswick keeper pushed her cross into her own net. Hannah F rounded off a good all round team performance with a well taken hat-trick goal. Full time: 8 - 0Player of the Match:Hannah F Scorers:Kerry B (2) Megan S (2) Lauran W Hannah F (3) ---- Under 16s:Haslingden 2 Accrington 2Our penultimate league game of the season saw us take on the League leaders Haslingden at their ground where they had been unbeaten in three years. It was a physical encounter between the top two sides in the league with neither creating any clear cut chances. Towards the end of the first half, a sustained period of Accrington pressure led to a series of corners that finally led to Heather B scrambling the ball over the line for the opening goal. Accrington went into the interval 1-0 up! The second half was much the same. However, a harsh hand-ball decision was given against Accrington and Haslingden converted the penalty. Accrington pushed forward and when Keara B was fouled five yards outside the area, Amy stepped up to take the free-kick. It sailed into the roof of the net! More chances followed but in the final minute of injury time Accrington failed to deal with the bouncing ball and a Haslingden forward pounced to make the game all-square. A fantastic game and one which either side could have won in the end. Haslingden win the league and Accrington finish second. ----The views expressed on this page are those of the contributor and the opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the BBC. |
