Rothwell started brightly and took an early lead when Maisie played a brilliant ball through to Emily, who showed great strength to hold off the defender before squeezing the ball home to make it 1-0.

Pen*stone responded with an equaliser from a long-range effort that Rothwell couldn’t close down quickly enough, sending the teams into half time level at 1-1.

After the break, Rothwell regained the lead. Leela won a throw high up in the opposition half and delivered it into the box, where Phoebe rose well to head past the keeper and make it 2-1.

It was a fantastic result, with every player giving their all from start to finish in a brilliant team performance.

Congratulations to Maisie, Poppy and Isabelle on attending their end of year presentation for Leeds School Girls!

What a fantastic achievement and something to be really proud of. It’s been great to see your hard work, commitment and teamwork throughout the season, and it was a great achievement to play for them.

Well done girls — keep working hard and enjoying every moment! 👏⚽

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. 💙

Cup Final heartbreak for the girls yesterday, losing to a last-minute goal after giving absolutely everything.

We dominated the first half, creating chance after chance and playing some brilliant football, but went into halftime only 1-0 up. The opposition found an equaliser in the second half and it became a scrappy battle right to the end before they managed to score a late winner.

Football can be cruel sometimes, but this team should hold their heads high. Every single player gave everything for the badge, for each other, and for the team.

What makes this group special goes far beyond results. After the game, everyone spent the evening together celebrating an amazing season — and that says everything about this team. The friendships, togetherness, support and memories we’ve built mean so much more.

So proud of every one of them.
An amazing season for Rothwell Town U11 Girls 💙

Joint Coaches Players of the Match - Maisie Walker & Emily Bailey

Maisie Walker

A tremendous performance from start to finish, playing the whole game with her heart on her sleeve and showing real determination in every battle she faced. Maisie won the majority of her duels across the pitch and constantly drove the team forward with some brilliant balls out through the wings, putting Rothwell on the front foot time and time again. A hardworking and influential display that fully deserved the recognition.

Emily Bailey

Emily worked tirelessly from the first whistle right until the very end, never stopping her runs and constantly causing problems for the opposition defence. She linked play brilliantly with some excellent balls into her teammates to create opportunities throughout the game. To top off a fantastic display, Emily showed great instinct and composure to get her left foot around a stray ball and guide it in off the post for a well-earned goal. A superb all-round performance full of effort, quality, and determination.

Opposition Player of the match - Leela Peat

Leela covered every blade of grass up and down the pitch, showing incredible work rate and determination throughout the entire game. She caused Bradford’s defence problems all match with her intelligent runs in behind and created some brilliant chances for her teammates with her attacking play. Another player who never stopped running from start to finish, and although she was unfortunate not to get herself on the scoresheet, her contribution to the team was outstanding.

Rothwell Town produced a dominant performance against Killinghall Nomads, playing with freedom and confidence throughout.

Leela’s saved effort led to the opener, with Poppy reacting quickest to score. Poppy then assisted Emily, who turned well to find the corner, before Leela set up Phoebe for a composed finish. Poppy continued to shine, with a free kick falling to Emily to score from a tight angle, then added a superb lob. Another precise through ball from Poppy allowed Emily to complete her hat trick with a well-timed run and finish.

Jorgie made key saves and distributed excellently, while Isabelle’s defensive agility shut the opposition down quickly. Charlotte and Maisie pushed forward well, Millie, Leela, Eliza, and Peyton kept the tempo high on the wings, and Poppy with Phoebe controlled the middle.

A strong all-round team display.
