Umbro Soccer Sixes tournament - Poynton Sunday 22 June
The season which started back last September came to an end at the Poynton tournament, one of the most prestigious events on the junior football calendar. The girls competed very well against much more experienced opposition and more than held their own for most of the time. The group included sides such as Blackpool, Curson Ashton and Macclesfield Town, some of the best girls sides in the North West, and the girls should be proud of their great performances.

- Best moment - Lily's goal against Halton JFC
- Best run - Ellie Riste against Poynton JFC - unstoppable from one end to the other
- Best save - D'arcy against Macclesfield. Suberb once again between the sticks which brought compliments from the opposition manager.
- Best free kick - Keira's long range effort following a foul on Ellie Riste that Rachel nearly scored from.
- Best performance - against Halton JFC. So unlucky not to win. Best dressed - Gabi with socks on top of trackie bottoms
- Best Premier League footballer impression - Olivia complaining to the ref after being dumped on the floor in the first game.
