The U12 Liverpool Schoolgirls team have taken victory against Bolton to progress to the national final of the ESFA U12 Girls District National Cup.

The side features several players from St Julie’s, and both Anya and Sophie started the difficult game. The hosts opted for a heavy grass pitch and pressed their home advantage hard while the Liverpool players continued to adapt to the conditions.

The Bolton players had the better chances in the first half but failed to capitalise, with the first goal scored by Liverpool very late in the first half. Having now found the measure of the pitch the visiting side dominated the second half adding another goal to secure a solid 0-2 victory.

Congratulations to Anya, Sophie, Honey and Blossom for a very successful away fixture. We are looking forward to seeing them contest the final and lift some silverware!

Trial applications are now open for next year's squad and the deadline for completing the application form is 23rd May.
