Portishead hit Wotton for six as they pass landmark

Portishead Juniors A Under-13s cruised passed the 70-goal mark for the season as their relentless march towards the title continued with a 6-0 victory over Wotton Rovers.

Twin sisters Leanne and Taylor Gainey, plus Annabelle Colston, all saw early shots saved by Wotton's courageous goalkeeper, whose fortunes were to change in the 18th minute when Charlotte Joyner opened the scoring for the hosts.

Taylor Gainey's perseverance was rewarded as she netted soon afterwards from close range, and with the tempo set by midfield maestro Maisie Kincaid, Portishead extended their lead direct from Wotton's kick-off. Jennie Mistry robbed the ball to set up another attack and again Gainey was in the right place to score.

Juniors' defensive four of Ellie Grey, Lucy Rance, Shelbie Hale and the impressive Erica Marshall looked solid as a unit, while at the other end Colston added to her tally for the term with a right-footed shot low into the net.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Rance pushing forward from full-back to support the front line.

Portishead's fifth goal came from Colston following a clever corner-kick routine, but the best goal was saved for last as Taylor Gainey completed her hat-trick with a venomous dipping strike. Wotton kept battling and Portishead defenders Lily Saunders and Lucy Routledge had to work hard to preserve a clean sheet, although their outstanding keeper Alice Pritchard comfortably saved everything that came her way.

Destiny Ferguson fired five goals and Ella Thresher smashed four as Downend Flyers Under-11s rattled up a 13-0 victory over gutsy Bradley Stoke.

Emily Cook celebrated a hat-trick and Chloe Baker joined the goals glut with one of her own.

Frampton Rangers A Under-11s produced a tremendous team performance to beat Boco 2-0.

They had to wait until the second half to grab the breakthrough, Rosie Williams running up from defence for a corner and managing to find the back of the net with a low shot.

Shortly after, Annie Lewis raced clear and finished in style to double their lead with her 16th goal of the season.

Paige Botta looked assured in goal and Williams and Ellie Todd had fine games in defence. Upfront, Maddison Buss, Freya Ball, Jess Jefferies, Lauren Penny, Chloe Fuller and Lewis all enjoyed splendid games.

Bristol Ladies Union A Under-11s won a hard-fought match by the same scoreline against a competitive and determined Frampton B side.

Adie Bailey-Douglas opened their account, finishing off a flowing move, before Union captain Briony Wills, leading by example with a superb display, notched an excellent individual goal in the second half, running from halfway to strike a low shot sweetly into the corner of the net.

Imogen Cotter and Louisa Bell turned in notable performances; Aoife Smith was solid and dependable at the back together with Rosanna Boxall, while Anna Hubble and Ellie Courtiour tackled hard and passed the ball effectively to help secure the win.

Portishead Juniors Under-11s returned to form with an excellent 4-2 win at Longwell Green.

Portishead were fast out of the blocks with a second-minute goal from Emily Smith. With player-of-the-match Rhea Hall and Kyla Probert commanding in midfield, Chelsea Hill added two further goals in quick succession to extend the lead to 3-0.

Longwell Green came back strongly in the second half and Portishead's staunch defence of Eloise Hubbard, Phoebe Williams, Alys Withers, Rosie Collings and keeper Aimee Morgan were finally breached by two well-taken goals from Longwell forwards.

However Sophie Dumine scuppered any comeback hopes the hosts had by finishing off a fine pass from Smith to secure Portishead the three points with five minutes to go.

Amber Chanelle celebrated her second hat-trick of the season as St Nicholas Under-10s made it 11 wins from 11 games with a dazzling display and 7-0 success against a determined Warmley side. They gave themselves a huge base from which to secure victory by netting six times in the first half, with player-of-the-match Chanelle scoring three goals in quick succession.

Saints forwards didn't make the most of their chances as they peppered a bemused Warmley defence, but luck was on their side as an attempted clearance from Chanelle's well-hit cross resulted in an own goal.

Saints' excellent passing play led to Katie Hudson scoring twice to take Saints to a commanding 6-0 interval lead.

Shellshocked Warmley were determined to keep a clean sheet after the break and to their credit they almost succeeded before Caitlyn Preston converted a well-placed Lucy Clark cross in the dying minutes.

Downend Flyers Under-10s had goals from Keeley Allan and Aimee West to thank as they came through a hard-fought match with Longwell Green Girls as 2-0 winners.
