WOTTON Rovers Girls section is going from strength to strength with both the U12 and U14 Teams making it through to the prestigious County Cup Finals to be held at GFA Headquarters over the next few weeks.

The current U14 team, many of who have progressed through from the teams beginning as U11s, are currently sitting second in the Bristol Girls League having won the title last season.

Over their 4 years together the team have won a number of summer tournaments and been County Cup Champions at U12 and U13. This year the girls have seen off strong opposition in the lead up to the Final, beating AEK Boco in the Quarter Final and, top of the Gloucester Girls League, Cheltenham Spa in the Semi-Final.

The girls’ drive and commitment to succeed as well as enjoyment of the game is apparent resulting in some players progressing through to representing Gloucestershire in the Girls Advanced Coaching Centre’s County Team.

Wotton Rovers U12 Girls, in only their second season as an established side and their first season in 9 v 9 format, have also achieved remarkable success by wining through to the Gloucestershire County Cup Final.

The team plays in the Bristol Girls League, where they face teams such as Portishead, Nailsea, Whitchurch and local rivals Emerson's Green.

Emerson's Green, currently riding high in the League, were seen off in a tight game in the early rounds. Following this confidence-boosting result the girls went on to give a further solid performance against Cheltenham Spa in the Quarter Final, before a strong win against AEK Boco (of Hanham) to progress to the Final itself.

U12 Manager, Steve Bishop said "To see the girls develop their football skills even further through this season, and through their teamwork, commitment and sheer will to win, progress to the Cup Final itself is hugely rewarding and I'm certain that no matter what the result on the day, the occasion is something they'll remember for a long time. It's a wonderful achievement."

Wotton U14 Girls will play their Final against Bishop’s Cleeve Colts on Sunday 26th March at 1:30pm. Wotton U12s will face Gloucester City in their final on 2nd April at 10.45am. Both games will be played at the GFA Headquarters, Oaklands Park, Almondsbury, BS32 4AG Both teams are looking for more players ready for next season, for more information contact nicandlesleyford@aol.com
