U11s S-Tech League POSH Girls (9) v Comberton (0)

POSH U11s Cambs League met Comberton Crusaders in an emphatic 9-0 home victory. POSH gave the visitors no time to settle as Keir Perkins pressured from the whistle and Alessia Mundo nailed the first goal with only a minute and a half played. Thanks to the framework denying Tihesia Bennett and Megan Parrett and the determined play from the Comberton keeper POSH may have been disappointed to be only one ahead as the first half ended. At the restart POSH resumed in the same manner rattling the framework and forcing fine performances from Comberton's number one. But troublesome trio Perkins (3), Mundo (3) and Parrett (3) were on target to share the other eight goals as they pepperpotted the visitors goal.

U13s S-Tech League Alconbury (1) v POSH Girls (4)

Another win for the POSH Girls U13 S-Tech side who saw off Alconbury 4-1 away. A positive start by the girls who played the ball out wide and ran at players to provide opportunities in the 18 yard box. Working hard down the right wing Amy Challis, opened herself up and sent the ball across the keeper and found her shot in the back of the net. Attacking relentlessly in midfield found Cady Carolissen and Beth Wilson pairing up to get the next two goals, before half time. The back four with little to do in the first half had a surprise awakening with Alconbury starting the second half with vengeance. Unable to deal with Alconbury's corner Alconbury, looked set to really up the tempo. However POSH Girls responded straight away with a ball to Stacie Heron's feet who just shot wide of the post. With a couple of chances missed by POSH Girls before Cady finished the scoring with a well taken shot!
