On 8th November, Acle's talented Year 10 and 11 girls' football team welcomed Dereham Northgate to Acle for a Norfolk County Cup match. Captain Lauren was unfortunately injured and strikers Beth and Darcey were going to be late to the game due to a trip to Cambridge University. However, the girls started lively and after a tight start, took the lead. This got the girls into their stride and they never looked back as they put consistent pressure on their opponents, scoring time and time again. This excellent attacking display from the girls was built upon a strong defensive foundation with Rebecca, Jasmine and Aaliyah in defence with Kacey showing her goalkeeping skills when called upon. Talya and Abi as wing backs were a constant threat on the outside. The return of Ruby, Alicia and Lillia to the team really heightened their attacking threat and they went in at half time 7-0 in the lead. The girls didn't let up in the second half as they continued to attack. This allowed the superb Grace to get her hat-trick as well as Ruby. Beth and Darcey arrived late and helped the team continue to attack and make the final score 13-0. Goal scorers: Ruby 3; Grace 3; Lillia 2; Talya 2; Alicia 2; Darcey 1. Well done to all girls involved!
