Howden Clough v Seacroft Colts. Under 16 girls.
The Clough girls worked hard during the first half battling well on a heavy pitch. Some fantastic runs from Laura Broadbent and Heather Haigh tested the Seacroft keeper who made some fine saves.Katherine Lee worked hard in the Clough defence supported well by Emilly Bratton and Roxanne Stainburn, leaving Chantelle Brennan little to do in the Clough goal. Eventually Broadbent managed to pass the Seacroft keeper with a clever side foot and then a further first goal for the club by Katie Brennan gave Clough a two nil cushion at half time. The Clough girls worked twice as hard in the second half passing and challenging every ball, this resulted in a further two goals from Broadbent to give her an hatrick. Also Beth Allsop scored a scorcher with a long range shot giving the Seacroft keeper no chance. A great Clough performance resulting in a five nil win.
