PRESTON NORTH END - TESCO CUP

Preston U14s beat Academy U14s 4-3 in the Final on 19th January 2010. After taking an early lead the girls never went behind in the game but, due to some very nervy defending, they seemed to try and make it as nail-biting as possible for the spectators. Full credit to Academy Girls for some stout defending and never giving up on the attack. As this match was the first for circa 5 weeks with no outdoor training both teams deserve a lot of credit for their performance.
The next patowards the end of April for the Regional Finals at the Wythenshawe pitches of the Manchester Uni.rt of the Tesco competition is.                         Preston go  forward to represent the County in the National Tesco Cup competition later in the season. Last season's winners, Manchester City Ladies, represented Lancashire and went on to be crowned UK champions.
