On Tuesday evening, 9th May, the girls’ U16 football team competed in the Lancashire Cup Final against Archbishop Temple. The game was played at AFC Darwen, and with lots of spectators it was a fantastic event for the girls to be a part of. The first half was very evenly competed, Archbishop went 1-0 up ten minutes before half time, but Broughton responded quickly through Grace Jemson to make it 1-1. After half time Broughton came out the stronger team and played some good attacking football, but unfortunately couldn't turn the pressure into a goal. As the game drew on, Broughton tired and after conceding a penalty and going 2-1 down, it was difficult to find a way back. Archbishop went on to win the game 4-1, but the score line wasn't a true reflection of the game.
Although the girls were disappointed with the result, they should feel immensely proud of reaching a Lancashire Cup final and the effort and determination they showed throughout. I couldn't have asked anymore of them and they were an absolute credit to Broughton.
