Girls U14's continue their cup run

The Park Under 14 girls recently played in Round 4 of the English Cup against Glossopdale. With only 64 teams left in the competition, it was clear that Park needed a strong start—and the girls certainly delivered. From kick-off, they applied pressure on the opposition and immediately put Glossopdale on the back foot.

Betsy, Madison, and Maisie helped Park take control of the game, providing consistent through balls to the attackers. This pressure earned Park a corner, which Lottie delivered brilliantly. The ball fell to Pola, who slotted it into the net.

Park didn’t stop there—Lottie and Poppy showed a relentless work rate, allowing the opposition’s defence no time on the ball. Their pressing helped Park regain possession and maintain control.

Maisie, once again showed her technical ability and game understanding. She broke down a Glossopdale attack, drove to the edge of the box, and rifled a shot into the top corner.

After half-time, Park continued to play with desire and determination to see out the win. Maisie again took centre stage, controlling the ball and opening up her body to strike from 20 yards—placing it into the top right corner.

A special mention goes to Olivia, who came on in the second half and never stopped running up and down the wing. She consistently crossed the ball into the box and showed great resilience and work ethic to help secure the 3–0 win. Lastly, well done to Paige, who showed calmness and composure at the back, reading the game superbly and helping Park keep a clean sheet.

A massive well done to the girls, who have now reached Round 5 of the English Cup. The competition began with 463 teams, and only 32 remain. This is only the second time in Park High history that the girls’ football team has progressed this far in the competition.
