The latest league game for the Under 15s was away to bottom of the league Dronfield Town. The match was played on an artificial pitch on a warm and sunny day. The home team started well but it took the under 15s a little while to adapt to the surface. Town were eager to push forward and were caught offside on a few occasions with the home team playing a high line. However, in the 11th minute Lois Mattock and Tegan Stewart-Pybus combined to set Bella Kington free. Bella beat the keeper with a well placed shot to make the score 1 - 0. Eight minutes later it was Amy Almonds turn to put Bella through on goal and she again scored with ease. The under 15s were now in full control and on the 23rd minute Lucy Grice won the ball in midfield, broke through the defensive line and scored to make the score 3 - 0. Two minutes later, the under 15s scored the best goal of the game. Amy collected a loose ball and found Millie Rumney. She in turn passed to Alex McKie who played the ball into Mia Harris. She played a clever one-two with Laura Hulme and Mia finished off the move with a crisp shot into the corner of the goal. After 32 minutes Mia increased the lead to 5 - 0 and just before half time Laura made it 6 - 0 with well placed shot.
Town continued to dominate the game in the second half but to their credit the Dronfield girls played with purpose and continued to play and never let their heads drop.Town scored three goals in the second half. On 71 minutes Amy set Mia free who completed her hat-trick. Four minutes later, Amy was on hand to coolly lob over the keeper to make the score 8 - 0. In the final minute Laura found the bottom corner of the net to complete the scoring and Town won 9 - 0.
Mia Harris was player of the match for her tireless performance in midfield which culminated in a well taken hat-trick.
