BOYS’ REPRESENTATIVE TEAMS
Unfortunately after a wonderful run of victories FJSC Under 14 Blacks lost 3 nil to Southport Trinity. This result sets up a tense end of season for FJSC and Trinity, with the two teams having played each other twice, and now with the same number of points from the same number of matches played.

FJSC Under 17’s lost 4-2 to Preston North End. Macy Keam and Molly Barton scored and a 2-2 a draw would have been a great result. Unfortunately FJSC’s depleted squad had no substitutes to bring on as the team began to tire after a very good effort. Preston with a number of substitutes then scored two late goals to win and to remain in second position. FJSC are joint third. Player of the match was Sally Laughton.
FJSC Under 13’s lost 4-2 against Maghull Blue. It was another much better team display. Dot Russell-Gajos and Simone Jones scored. Anna Johnson and Karen Lane played particularly well.
FJSC Under 12 Rangers won 4-3 against Crosby Stuart. Erin Denison scored a sensational hat trick and Lily Hall continued her regular scoring with another goal. Alex Worrell-Murphy was very hardworking in midfield and goalkeeper Helena Davies made a wonder save, which proved to be a pivotal moment.
FJSC Under 12 United played FJSC Under 11 Albion. There was nothing between the teams until United’s Freya Thornton scored the only goal of the match midway through the second half. Albion nearly equalised late on when a Yasmin Godsall shot struck the United woodwork. Joint players of the match for United were Bella Plows and Evie Stanbrook. Albion’s girls of the match were Ella Stainton and Eva Sears. All the girls from two teams are to be congratulated on a great effort.
