WELLINGTON Wildcats U11s travelled to Martock for their first ever away game in the Somerset Girls Football League. After dominating the first period and hitting the post three times it was 0-0 at half-time.

The intensity continued in the second half and the Wildcats made the breakthrough with a well taken goal from Isla M. Another goal followed shortly afterwards for Emilia S from an unfortunate error by the Martock goalkeeper. The third goal for Wildcats was another impressive strike from Isla M to cap off a player of the day performance and an impressive first ever victory for the girls in the county league. Certainly, it will be one to remember for a long time!.

The Wildcat U12s were at home to Bishops Lydeard at Rockwell Green and after a slow start, the Wildcats started to dominate possession and found themselves 1-0 up through Scarlett H after a goal mouth scramble. Keeping the pressure on, the Wildcats found themselves 3-0 up with a quick brace from Iyla J. Bishops Lydeard did pull one back going in at half time.

The second half started in an assured fashion and good team play by Wildcats, Mary H added two goals to extend their lead and put the game out of reach.

A 5-1 win was richly deserved and player of the match went to Tallilah T for a stand out double save and outstanding play throughout.  

Back to back victories is testament to the new squad but a special mention also has to be made for defenders Darcey C, Evelyn S, Peyton A, Maddeline H-W and Edie Lane for their efforts to work the back line with composure which allowed the attacking players to express themselves.

The Wildcat U14s enjoyed their first home game against a determined and attacking Huish Tigers at Court Fields School. The Wildcats struggled to get a foothold in the game in the first half finding themselves 2-0 down before starting to play their quick attacking game, adapting to the game situation and using the available space.

The Wildcats came out of the blocks in the second half and soon found themselves back in the game then equal with a couple of really well worked goals with Emilia S finding the back of the net. The last 10 minutes were keenly fought with chances at both ends but the fulltime whistle went and a draw was a fair result for both sides.

The work rate and spirit to fight back into the game from the whole squad was admirable and Sophie W in goal earned player of the match by making several outstanding saves which eventually proved crucial for the side.
