Goals from Abbie Mackenzie and Emily Boddington secured County Cup victory for Moulton Magpies Under 16s as they say off their Kettering Town counterparts.
Magpies started brightly and created several openings but Kettering held firm as both teams battled to keep the ball down and play some good football in difficult conditions.
Magpies made the break through after a good through ball from Ollie Clifford released Mackenzie and she found Boddington, who squeezed the ball home for 1-0.
In the second half Mackenzie produced a superb run down the wing and after cutting inside she finished well for 2-0. A good result in a tight game. Well played, girls!

WELLAND VALLEY
Beat Cogenhoe & Kingsthorpe 3-0
Scorers: Anaiya Shah, own goal (2)
Team: Anaiya Shah, Carrie Slinn, Hannah Mowbray, Jemma Whyley, Taya Finch, Georgia Mains, Lucy Botterill, Alice Smith, Sophie Brooks
Subs: Samantha Fletcher
Report: First goal went to Anaiya Shah with a brilliant cross-shot, which went in the top right-hand corner of the net. The second came from a defender trying to clear the ball from Shah’s shot and it just clipped the wrong side of her foot, ending up in the back of the net! Welland came out fighting in the second half and put in a strong performance with another own goal same sort of thing. Alice Smith took a shot that clipped the defender and went in. Cogenhoe looked strong right until the end with a lot of shots being hit wide or saved by the Welland Valley keeper. Great performance by all.

PARKLANDS TIGERS
Lost 7-1 to Corby Gems Sapphires
Scorer: Eve Leonard
Team: Charlotte Mortimer, Molly Hughes, Dallas Ferguson, Amy Mann, Billie Swift, Chloe Southgate, Olivia Willson, Courtney Henry, Eve Leonard
Report: Parklands played a very strong and good tactical Gems side on a cold Sunday morning. Parklands conceded an early goal but soon equalised with a cracking strike from Eve Leonard. Dallas Ferguson made some crucial saves that kept Parklands in the game until just before half-time, when Gems scored their second. It was a fantastic display by Parklands who only had eight players. In the second half the lack of players started to take its toll and the Gems scored a further five goals. By no means did this reflect the play as Parklands played well all game and showed good teamwork. Well done to all the girls.
MOM: Dallas Ferguson

BRACKLEY ATHLETIC
Drew 2-2 with Parklands Tigers
Scorers: Lacey Walton, Charlotte Alderman
Team: Zara Grudzinski, Shauna Cox; Eden Brown, Saraya Phillips, Hannah Shepherd, Jody Marshall, Stephanie Knight, Lacey Walton, Beth Hope, Charlotte Alderman, Amy Marshall
Report: Brackley started brightly playing some great passing football and were rewarded after just six minutes when Lacey Walton scored. But Parklands responded with two goals inside five minutes. The first was a great 30-yard strike and the second a header from a corner. Charlotte Alderman then latched on to a loose ball in the box to make the half-time score 2-2. No further goals in the second half but both teams played their part in a great game
PARKLANDS TIGERS
Drew 2-2 with Brackley Athletic
Scorers: Sharee Bobowitz, Shanice Rowlands
Team: Melanie Hinds, Amy Lethbridge, Fern Noble, Jasmine Eden, Chloe Wykes, Sharee Bobowitz, Chelsea Felix, Courtney Hyde, Aimee Smith, Teesha Henry, Shanice Rowlands
Subs: Lucy Hodgson, Paris Harman, Chloe Jones, Emma Lewthwaite, Line Rasmussen.
Report: A really hard-fought game with both teams playing some fantastic football. Brackley took the lead after a sloppy defensive error. Tigers soon equalised through a cracking strike by Sharee from fully 30 yards and within five minutes Tigers took the lead with Shanice grabbing her first for Tigers. Again Tigers gave away the equaliser and that’s how the first half ended. The second half didn’t see any further goals but both teams had chances to win it. A great advert for the Midshires League. Sharee was voted MOM but everyone battled and could have won the award.
MOM: Sharee Bobowitz
