Deans 1 Denton Town 0 - Semi-Final (U13's)

Well girls, like you, I'm gutted. Two years running we have won the cup, but unfortunately, this wasn't our year. Just spoken to Deans' manager, Anthony, and he said "it was a shame any team had to lose, as it was a great game". Their goal came in the 59th min, with a deflection off Kayleigh. I felt for you Kay, but at the end of the day, the ball should of been cleared from our penalty area before it reached you, and it can happen to anyone - we win as a team, and lose as a team, its that simple. Next week we've got them at our place, so time for a bit of payback.

Player of the match for us was Natalie, for them no.7 - great player. Gave the ref 7/10. He missed a few handballs, and didn't give players enough protection.

Thanks Phil, for arranging for Chris Eagles of Manchester United to come down. Chris has been on loan at Sheff. Wed and Watford, but now back at OT hoping to impress Sir Alex. He actually played 7 games for the 1st team back in 2004/5, and is definitely one for the future. Good of him to sign 15 autographs and pose for the photo as well. He said he would like to come back and watch you all again - so you must of impressed him. Hope you like the photo, if anyone has a better one, email me with it, and will post.
