Welcome
U13 Girls do well at Lavington tournament
Well done to the girls again!
The weather was fantastic at this year’s Lavington tournament and, with 11 teams competing, it was going to be a long hot day. We drew with Bath City in the first match, Trowbridge in the second and beat Lavington and Derry Hill to qualify for the semi finals.
We were drawn against Melksham in the semi finals who had won all four of their matches previously. The game was very tight and we went a goal behind. We then equalised to take it to extra time. With minutes to go Ellie Lyne picked up the ball, dribbled around every Melksham player and slotted the ball into the corner to win it for us! Pure Genius!
All of the girls played extremely well and gave 110% and that "Larkhall Girls" sprit was back and that was one of the games of the season for me!
We then met Swindon in the final and the first half ended 0-0. The game again was again end to end but unfortunately we went a goal behind and lost the game 1-0.
Another succesful tournament and the girls have shown this season that we consistently play well and I have no doubt we will do even better next season. May I yet again thank all of the parents who travelled to Lavington and supported the girls.
Regards
Chris Lowe, U13 Girls’ Coach

Well done our U13 Girls!
Besides playing some great football and getting good results this season and last, our U13 Girls squad have set a fantastic example with the enthusiasm and sportsmanship with which they play.
Their brilliant attitude was recently recognised when they won the Somerset FA’s Fair Play award for girls’ teams. The photo shows Brendan Dix from the Somerset FA having presented the award to the girls who were able to attend the presentation at the clubhouse.
Pictured with Brendan are: Romany Lowe. Becky Kersey, Becky Sartin, Ellie Lyne, Freya Howard and Frances Davies. Also very deserving of a mention are those girls who could not attend the presentation event: Stacey Wall, Emilie Noad, Laura Hopes, Rebecca Jacobs, Ellie Marden, Becky Roper, Izzie Dowling and Abby Bullock.
Special mention and thanks are also due to Sol Lowe, who wrote the nomination which lead to the girls winning the award. As well as a certificate for the team and an individual medal for each player, the team also won a £200 prize, which was used to buy each of the girls a Larkhall Athletic training top.
