AVENUE UNDER 13 GIRLS DO THE DOUBLE OVER FARSLEY!!!!

Bradford Park Avenue under 13 girls registered their 2nd win of the season on Thursday night against Farsley Celtic. In poor conditions Avenue were in control for most of the game. This was an excellent team performance and everyone of the girls deserves a mention so well done to Sophie, Ashley, Rebecca, Katie, Rachel, Alice, Danielle, Lauren, Emma, Holly, Stacey, Laura, Lucy & Carla. You were all brilliant.

Avenue took the lead when we were awarded an indirect free kick for a back pass just inside the penalty box. Danielle Jackson passed the ball for Lauren Burnett to hit from 15 yards into the roof of the net. Farsley equalised against the run of play after a mix up in the Avenue defence.

Half time 1-1.

Avenue came out of the blocks all guns blazing Alice on the right wing was a causing Farsley all sorts of problems. Avenue's winner came from the penalty spot after Lauren was upended in the penalty box after some good work down the left wing from Holly & Stacey. Lauren Calmly slotted the ball in to the bottom corner to give Avenue the lead. Avenue continued to press and Alice, Lucy & Stacey all went close to scoring Avenue's 3rd goal. At the other end Sophie in goals due to our regular keeper being unavailable was excellent. Avenue held out to do the double over their local rivals.

I would also like to say a big thankyou to all the Parents, Brothers, Sisters and other relatives who supported the girls in the heavy rain.

Farsley chose Avenue's Girl of the Match and it went to Lauren.
