Fry
Club JFC U12 Girls win Bristol Girls League U12 Division 2 Title
After a long and close
fought season, Fry Club JFC Girls under 12s clinched the Bristol Girls League Under 12 Division 2 title with a nail biting end of season 2
-0 win over Downend Flyers FC. This was a fantastically close competition with several
teams in contention right up until the end that saw some fantastic football
played by all the girls involved from all the different teams. Fry’s had topped
the league since October of last year going on a 14 game unbeaten run against
stiff opposition, but with Downend and Bristol Ladies Union close on their
tails it was always going to go to the wire, not least with Fry’s losing their
penultimate game against a strong Winscombe team.
Fry’s versus Downend has
always been a cracking fixture with this game proving no different. Many family
and friends turned out to see this title decider and both teams didn’t
disappoint with an excellent game played in a great spirit. Things were close
until Fry’s got their breakthrough with a cracking top corner goal scored from
the edge of the box by Kelsey Cox. With Fry’s now in the ascendency they quickly
capitalised with another, closer range effort by Amy Silitoe to give them a 2 –
0 lead going into half time. The second half started in the same way as the
first with both teams having chances and a memorable goal line scramble in Fry’s
goal in the closing minutes which saw goalkeeper Aimee Barnes drop on the ball
just before going in. Shortly after, the referee blew his whistle to end the
game and to signal the start of the celebrations for Fry’s girls who had won
their first trophy since forming 3 years ago. The team management and parents
would like to convey how proud they are of the girl’s achievement and the hard
work that every single one of them put in over the course of the season.
Next season sees the team
move up to under 13s with full size pitches and 11 a
side and Fry’s are looking for 2 or 3 experienced players in all outfield
positions. If you are interested in joining please contact Sam Hay on 01275
