It’s been a hectic June and July so far for the team. June started well, winning the Champions league at the very enjoyable Fulledge Colts tournament. The performance from the team was sensational, winning all games, scoring 19 and conceding 0. Most importantly they had fun and enjoyed the day.

A few weeks later we had the opportunity to reflect and celebrate their achievements across the season. The development and achievements of each player was recognised as well as saying farewell and good luck to legends of the team. Also well done to those girls who won individual awards.
🏆 Hannah - Players player of the season.
🏆 Aiyanna and Lou - Parents player of the season.
🏆 Fearne - Most improved payer of the season
🏆 Rio - Coaches player of the season.

Many of the team have achieved footballing success with their schools and district, winning numerous finals including some being crowned 2 time National schools champions. 🏆

Players have been selected for ETCs and identified for the Lioness pathway 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. The recognition of our girls footballing talent has continued with four girls progressing to the second round of Lancashire County trials. 💪⚽️

There has been no slowing down with 2 preseason friendlies against Lancon and Fylde Coast Soccer with the team winning both games whilst playing fantastic football, which was a joy to watch for the supporters.

As you can see we are already looking forward to the new season in September and are looking to add new players to our existing squad.

Congratulations 🙌. We did it!! The girls and parents completed the Preston Guild wheel to raise additional funds for the team by cycling 21 miles.

Thank you for all your support. We all had a great time. The girls smashed it and what a great way to strengthen the team spirit. They really are an exceptional group of girls and parents. 💛🚴🏻‍♂️⚽️💙

Longsands Girls JFC U13 travelled to Morecambe for a repeat of last weeks cup final also knowing a win would create a three way tie at the top of the league. Typically the school half term and injuries meant a smaller match day squad during a heatwave. ☀️ 🥵

Fantastic performance and a great way to end the season, unfortunately we conceded towards the end of the game with less than 5 minutes left to play.

We started the game strongly stopping the home team from playing and moving the ball with purpose. A combination of excellent defending for Lilah, Aiyanna, Beths and Hannah and some good saves from Martha kept the game all square at half time.

Second half started in a similar fashion, with strong defending. The solid defensive display meant we started to create a few forward opportunities ourselves. However Martha pulled off a fantastic diving save to keep the score level. With the minutes counting down and a well deserved draw in our sights we went and conceded from a corner. It finished 1-0 to the league champions.

🏆 Parents player of the match went to Martha and Beth. Defensively strong 💪

🏆 Coaches player of the match, we proudly gave to the team for being superb.💪

After the game we visited McDonald's Deepdale for well deserved refuelling and team get together. As always the support from the McDonald’s team was exceptional. We took this opportunity to crown our McDonald’s April and May players of the month.

🏆 Aprils player of the month is Maja who put in some consistent and brilliant performances over the last few months.

🏆 Mays player of the month is Lilah who has really found her form over the last few months with sold defensive displays.

Another impressive season comes to an end. 💛⚽️💙

Longsands Girls JFC U13 got the opportunity to play at Fleetwoods Highbury Stadium in the Coulton Cup final. A good performance, but unfortunately it was not our day and congratulations to Morecambe.

Lots of positives and plenty to be proud of. We showed our togetherness and ability to play good football. We kept our shape and discipline, stopping Morecambe from any chances. Maja worked hard down the right hand side defending and attacking. Rio created some half chances and Fearne was unlucky with a long range effort. The deadlock was broken late into the first half from a corner, before Morecambe scored again from a penalty.

Second half was again evenly balanced with neither team creating too many chances. Sienna played a number of purposeful balls forward, but we couldn’t get the rub of the green. The defence regardless of the combination: Hannah, Lilah, Aiyanna, Beth and Emelia continued to be solid at the back. However, as the game went on Morecambe were again clinical adding to their total.

🏆 Caches player of the match was our Goalkeeper Martha, who swept up every long ball, kicked effectively and helped us stay in the game.

Thanks again for the superb support. It’s appreciated and amazing. 💙💛

Everyone is extremely proud of the girls achievement and effort today and throughout the season. A real privilege to be a part of this team.
