LEIGH and Bransford Badgers Belles girls' under 10s team played their first fixture.

They hosted Nunnery Wood Pythons from Worcester for a 4-1 defeat in the inaugural game for the club’s girls' football programme.

Considering Belles did not start training until October, they where never outclassed throughout a competitive match.

Both teams tried to play football in tricky conditions.

Badgers' first goal was scored by Cleo Tomkinson with the visitors netting through Bryony Gillgrass, Bella Bennett, Iris Fellows and Tilly Griffiths.
