Last group game today v Blizzard Dynamite from Canada. In front of a huge crowd and live tv cameras on the show pitch they played some great passing football to the enjoyment of the crowd who were 5 deep around the pitch. After about 15 minutes of passing around the opposition we scored after good work from Zoe Ness and Beth Hepple who filtered the ball through to Lauren Briggs who fired home from 20 yards earning herself a new pair of football boots from her ma...

After yesterday's poor performance the girls had to win to have any chance of progressing in the Gothia World Youth Cup. On the main show pitch in front of a huge crowd they turned on the style with a big performance against a shell shocked Salanger (SWE) team to win 6-0.

Cestria rattled in 5 exceptional goals before half time with strikes from Beth Jennings,...

However goals flowed throughout the game from Beth Hepple, Beth Jennings, Rosie Mcdonnell, Brooke, Lauren Jordinson and Abbey Housecroft with Zoe Ness grabbing an excellent ...
