Tabitha Ward hit a hat-trick as Blisworth Vixens Under-12s enjoyed a 4-2 win over FC Aztec.
Also on target was Eloise Bailey, in a game where both sides only fielded six after Blisworth turned up short of players, Azetc sportingly agreeing to a drop in numbers.
Both teams from the start kept trying to play passing football at a high tempo.
Blisworth used the slight hill to their advantage to take an early first half lead with Ward capitalising on this and scoring two goals.
This score-line was short lived and soon reduced by FC Aztecs who eventually got back on level terms shortly before the end of the first half.
In the second half, both teams created chances and kept trying to score by playing attacking and pressing football in what was a great spirited game.
The Blisworth goalkeeper Tabitha Luntz pulled off some great save in the second half to keep Aztecs at bay.
Blisworth finally managed to breakdown a resilient Aztecs team from a corner which Bailey managed to force home, then to ease the travelling supporters nerves Tabitha Ward completed her hat-trick.
A very very good performance by both teams.
Blisworth team: Tabitha Luntz, Jade Ward, Sophie Marks, Sara Cassidy, Eloise Bailey, Tabitha Ward. MOM: Tabitha Luntz

A special mention to ref Alan Archer who despite plenty of criticism from the away support, did a good job on the field today. Man of the match goes to Alicia for another solid performance.
MOULTON MAGPIES
Lost 3-1 to Welland Valley
Scorer: Heather Mulcahy
Team: Millie Harris, Natasha Haycock, Heather Mulcahy, Bethany Spring, Lauren Sturgess, Emily Worth, Caitlin Wright, Kate Sullivan
Report: Magpies are really struggling with players so we started off the game with eight players. In the first half magpies got the first goal, with some great passing and good teamwork on the pitch, but unfortunately Welland Valley pulled back a goal just before half time, the final score was 3-1. Moulton had an absolutely amazing game every single player played their hearts out, a little more work and we will get there.
WELLAND VALLEY

Scorers: Anaiya Shah 2, Lauren Skinner
Team: Anaiya Shah, Lauren Skinner, Hannah Mowbray, Jemma Whyley, Taya Finch, Georgia Mains, Lucy Botterill, Abbi Carter, Carrie Slinn, Alice Smith, Sophie Brooks, Samantha Fletcher
Report: Started off the first half with a poor performance by all. Valley weren’t passing the ball around and just looked like they didn’t want to win the game at all! The first goal went to Moulton through a poor bit of defending, however Valley managed to get one back before half time scored by Anaiya Shah. The second half saw Welland came out fighting and put in a strong performance with goals from Lauren Skinner and a final goal by Anaiya Shah. Smashing second half by all.

BRACKLEY ATHLETIC
Beat Moulton Magpies 2-1
Scorer: Amy Marshall 2
Team: Zara Grudzinski, Melissa Webber, Saraya Phillips, Jody Marshall; Hannah Shepherd, Stephanie Knight; Charis Spearing, Lacey Walton; Beth Hope, Charlotte Alderman, Amy Marshall, Shauna Cox, Jasmin Davis, Jennifer Cook
Report: An excellent team performance gave Brackley a deserved victory over league leaders Moulton Magpies. Brackley went ahead in the second minute when Lacey Walton pulled the ball back for Amy Marshall to score with a right footed shot into the corner. Moulton equalised with 20 minutes remaining with a fine individual effort but five minutes later Brackley were back in front when Amy Marshall scored her second. A great result for Brackley to help maintain their fine start to the season
MOULTON MAGPIES
Lost 2-1 to Brackley Athletic
Scorer: Abbie Mackenzie
Team: Ollie Clifford, Chloe Dunkley, Lois Donegal, Lauren Kennedy, Aneesah Malik Jo Gilding, Georgia Webb, Katie Gurr, Ella Sturgess, Emily Boddington, Bayleigh Newby, Abbie Mackenzie, Hannah Morton, Rosie Baker
Report: A competitive Brackley turned up to Moulton this week, and caught some of the Magpies still in bed at kick-off. Within five minutes Brackley had drawn first blood and scored. The rest of the first half was evenly matched with Magpies failing to take numerous chances and a committed Brackley deservedly holding on for 1-0 half time lead. In the second half, Magpies continually put the pressure on Brackley but struggled to break them down until some good interchange play between Lauren and Abbie and Abbie fired home with a great strike. Brackley continued to battle away and create some chances and with the Magpies failing to clear their lines, Brackley struck to gain the advantage and the victory.
PARKLANDS TIGERS
Lost 5-3 to Netherton United Diamonds
Scorers: Shanee Bobowicz 2, Aimee Smith
Team: Melanie Hinds, Amy Lethbridge, Fern Noble, Paris Harman, Chloe Jones, Chloe Wykes, Courtney Hyde, Lois Drage, Aimee Smith, Emma Lewthwaite, Teesha Henry, Chelsea Felix, Lucy Hodgson, Shanee Bobowicz
Report: A result that didn’t really reflect the result. Netherton had a lucky break to score the first just before half time after Tigers had three good chances to take the lead in the first half. Some lucky breaks gave Netherton the edge in the second half but Tigers kept battling and were by far the better side. Shanee scored two great goals and Aimee Smith scored a superb goal after a typical mazy run.
