U14 girls success in English Schools Cup

A win for our Park U14 Girls who secured an impressive 3–1 victory against Otley Prince Henry’s Grammar School in Round 2 of the English Cup.

After a long journey, the girls started strongly, showing determination and teamwork from the first whistle. It was clear early on that this would be a competitive and hard-fought match, with both sides displaying great talent.

Our opening goal came from Lottie, who spun past the right back with brilliant skill before unleashing a thunderbolt strike into the top left corner — a superb finish that set the tone for the game.

In defence, Evelyn was outstanding, reading the play brilliantly and timing her tackles perfectly to stop Otley’s attacking threats.

Lottie then doubled the lead with what could well be the goal of the season — turning two defenders before smashing a powerful left-footed shot off the crossbar and in!

In midfield, Maisie was a driving force throughout the match. Her composure, vision, and tireless work rate helped Park stay on the front foot and break up Otley’s attacks.

A few changes at half-time showed the depth and quality of this Park squad. Poppy made an immediate impact, showing fantastic positional awareness to slot home our third goal with a striker’s instinct.

Otley managed to pull one back late in the game, but the girls showed real resilience to see out the match and secure a deserved 3–1 win.

Well done to all the girls.
