Howden Clough Under 15 Girls – Known as Cloughthorpe Tigers
Cloughthorpe Tigers V Farsley Celtic         1.10.06
Due to a mutual shortage of numbers the Under 15 Girls have perhaps set a precedent and joined forces with local rivals Norristhorpe to form what could be a formidable outfit.
Certainly Cloughthorpe Tigers first competitive fixture suggested the future would be bright if no longer entirely orange with a resounding 13-1 home victory over a game Farsley Celtic.
They went ahead as early as the 2nd minute when a well-struck shot by Jen Walsh found the bottom corner. Two more quick goals by Jenny Halligan both from corners set the tone for the game.
The Tiger’s rampaged forward and further strikes from Danny Anthony, the impressive Danica Roberts, Jade Naylor and Liuli Dyson gave the home side a fully deserved 7-0 lead at the break.
The second half followed a similar pattern with Halligan adding another three, Jessica Davidson converting a penalty and another goal apiece for Anthony and the talented Dyson with only a late breakaway providing some consolation for the visitors.
A very impressive start and with further improvement assured, this side will surely have a very successful first season.
