After a perfect start to their Junior Futsal League campaign, with two wins from two, Bootham U14s headed back to Hull for Round 3 of this fast-growing and fiercely competitive league. With goals flying in from all over the court and the defence barely giving opponents a sniff, the girls arrived buzzing with confidence and ready to deliver another standout performance.

The match was played over two 20-minute halves with a running clock, promising a fast-paced and exciting game from start to finish.

Despite several absences, Bootham unveiled a debut for rising star Sophie C, while Maja G earned her first Hull start. They lined up with Emily C, Jess H (C), Maisie M, Sophie C, Alexia D, Mollie C, Maya G and Scarlett W (GK) — a squad packed with energy, talent and belief.

Player of the Week – Sophie C – She was so nervous before the games, but she played really well, battled hard, made some great passes, and listened to what she was told before she started. But best of all, she scored two fantastic goals! A brilliant start to your futsal journey, Sophie!

Coaches Comments: Coach Tyler said after the games, ‘With two new players in the line-up today, it was always going to be a slow start, but once everyone settled in we played some really nice futsal. I think we can still use the width and height of the court better, but each game we are improving. Thank you everyone, one very happy coach!’
