Vixens came away with the points after an exciting game that left players and parents exhausted.

Vixens began well, and went two goals up through a lovely Edina free kick and an explosive finish from Erica. At half time it was 2-0 and everyone was relaxed such had been vixens domination. However York came out fighting and within 5 minutes had equalised ,2 well crafted goals from Erica and Teneesha restored vixens lead but York came back again with 2 goals to make it 4-4. With 5 mins left Teneesha scored a great solo goal to win the game. Well done to both sides for such an excellent game.

Playing their first home game of the season, Vixens had to work hard to record their second win on a really warm Saturday morning.

The odds didn't look so good at half time , with the scores level at 2-2 and three players having picked up injuries, it took a big effort from the team to win the game. The goals were shared out between Edina 3, Teneesha 2, Charlotte and Vanessa, but credit to all the team for sticking to the task, when some were clearly tiring, gasping for a drink, and in some cases playing on despite carrying knocks. Morley are capable and competetive opponents who seemed to tire in the last twenty minutes of the game, but they played their full part in another good game of girls football.

Vixens progressed to the second round of the cup with a comfortable win over second division Oulton.

With Edina and Fran out debuts were handed to new signings Carrie and Freya. After ten minutes of the game Teneesha had to leave the field with a back injury so vixens were missing some influential players. It was noticeable that Edina's presence was missing as play was scrappy and disjointed, but still Vixens had a 4-1 half time lead,thanks to a hat trick for Carrie and a long range goal for Erica. The second half saw a further two goals for Carrie and one more for Erica. There were excellent debuts for both Carrie and Freya who both look like good additions to the squad, if and when everybody is fit and available, manager Tim is going to have the right kind of selection problem.

Vixens continued their winning ways with a deserved win over local rivals Bradford.

With edina still injured Freya was moved into midfield and Fran returned to play in defence. In the first half Bradford looked like a team that like to pass the ball about but the Vixens defence was well organised and managed to break up their attacks. The difference between the two teams was that the Vixens have a good cutting edge up front and duly came away from half time with a 4 - 1 lead, thanks to goals from Erica, Becky and 2 for Carrie.

Erica made it 5-1 and her second with a long drive before Bradford got their second from a corner. Teneesha finished the score off at 6-2 after rounding the goalkeeper in fine style for another good team effort to maintain their unbeaten run so far.

Vixens suffered their first defeat in a tough competitive game against the Belles.

Erica put Vixens ahead but it was cancelled out just before half time to go in level at the break. Belles went ahead on 67 minutes but Vixens were soon back in the game with an equaliser and looked as if they could snatch victory. But Belles retaliated with 2 late goals to win the match.

This would usually be one of the toughest fixtures of the season as Goole are the current League champions but unfortunately for them (but to their credit) they turned up with only 9 players. This did take the edge off the game somewhat.

Goals from Freya & Edina secured the points but Goole fought all the way and with the wind in their favour in the second half they played some decent football with several chances to take something from the game.

Injuries continue to hamper the Vixens and it look's like being quite sometime before we can field our strongest side again. Nevertheless we continue to look good.

Vixens are through to the quarter finals of the cup after a convincing win over last season's winners Tigers.

Vixens dominated from start to finish, scorers were Carrie2, Freya2, Teneesha and Jane. Georgie in goals didn't have a shot of any note to save throughout the game. Tigers have lost some good players to the acadamies and it showed. Bad news for Vixens in that Edina has torn knee ligaments and is probably out for the season.

Vixens were slow to start in this game and were soon 2-0 down, before Teneesha scored to put us back in the game before half time.

This should have given us impetus for the second half, but it was Huddersfield who scored almost straight from the kick off to make it 3-1, at this stage things were looking as bleak as the weather. Carrie pulled a goal back before Georgie saved a penalty to keep us in the game, four goals in the last ten minutes , 2 for Teneesha and 1 each for Carrie and Charlotte , won the game, but gives a scoreline that is harsh on Huddersfield. It is good to see Huddersfield improving after a poor start to the season, good competitive games are good for the league.

Vixens produced their worst performance for a couple of seasons and suffered this heavy defeat.

Another slow start saw York go 4-0 up inside 16 minutes, Erica pulled a goal back and Vixens had chances to make it 4-2 , but York scored a fifth before half time, which seemed to kill off the game. York made it 6 with a free kick late in the second half to complete a miserable afternoon.

To keep things in perspective, this was a rare bad day, vixens have to roll up their sleeves, pull together and show a lot more fight in their next game.

A terrific free kick from the Bradford forward 5 minutes from the end of the game meant that the points were shared.

The score line was a fair reflection of the game, with Vixens dominating the first half , and Bradford the second. 2 goals from Freya gave Vixens the lead at the interval but it could have been 5 or 6 with steadier finishing. Bradford dominated the second half and from being 3-1 down brought the score line to 3-3 with 2 late goals. The wind was a big factor in this game making it difficult for the girls to play good football. Bradford deserve credit for the way they passed the ball around and Vixens for their spirit and determination.

There is no doubt that Goole were the worthy winners of this game, they played very well and dominated , but this was a sterling effort from a depleted Vixens team.

The first half saw Vixens defending with great determination, with Loz looking comfortable in her first game at sweeper, clear strikes on the Vixens goal were kept to a minimum. All the goals were scored in the second half and all were quality efforts. Goole took the lead with a tremendous shot from their centre forward who was a real handfull all game. Teneesha equalised with a goal from the edge of the 18 yard area to give Vixens some hope, but as the vixens girls tired, Goole enjoyed the time and space to play some good football and ran out 3-1 winners.

These are difficult times for the under 16's , we are struggling to find 11 fit players but the girls cannot be faulted for their efforts.

It seems that both clubs are having difficulties at the moment!

Vixens turned up with 11 players, a couple of whom are playing when they should really be recovering from injury, whilst Huddersfield could only field 10 players, which was reduced to 9 when one of their girls limped off midway through the second half. Play was a bit scrappy at times, but when Vixens did string some passes together they created chandes and took the lead after 25 minutes with a composed finish from Teneesha. In the second half, Vixens spurned quite a few chances befre another two late goals from Teneesha amd Tishana sealed the win. Well done to the Huddersfield girls who kept going when down to 9 players.

A disappointing effort from the home side.

Some of the players try their best but are let down by others who just don't seem to be that interested, this is really frustrating because there is enough ability in the side to give any team in the league a run for their money. Morley deserved to win, they were more commited and energetic, they were first to the ball every time, the message is simple, you can have all the ability in the world but it is no good if you don't compete. Freya scored the Vixens goal after a good 4 player passing move, she deserved to score having run herself to a standstill again, she is one of the players i feel sorry for.

This was a much more commited effort from the Vixens who showed what they can achieve if they have the right attitude.

Every player worked hard and really dug deep in the second half when Goole were fighting hard to equalise. Goole scored first, against the run of play really, but Teneesha equalised with a lofted shot before Edina put Vixens in front, keeping her cool and beating the keeper when played through. There were no goals in the second half, but it was hardly dull as both teams put in a wholehearted effort. All was going well until Tishana became the latest victim of the curse of the knee injury.

For the first time that i can remember, we had to take the field with only ten players. The girls tried their best but couldn't cope against a decent Bradford side.

The positives were the hat trick for Teneesha and the way the girls kept going. We have four fixtures left, i would like to see the girls enjoying these games, then i hope they can rest and recover over the summer. We do have good players in this age group, we just need them fit and able to play.

Vixens were worthy of a draw from this game, but after pulling back from 4-2 down they conceeded a late goal to lose.

The lead changed hands throughout the game, York scored in the first minute, but goals from Teneesha and Nessy gave Vixens a 2-1 half time lead. York fought back in the second half and went 4-2 up . Edina put here side back in the game, chipping the keeper before Teneesha equalised with a great finish. York scored the winner with barely a minute to go, this was another good game between two sporting sides.

Vixens turned in a competitive performance against Morley, but unfortunately weren't quite good enough.

The highlight of the game was a really good goal from Ella Parker, who was pushed up front in the latter part of the game. Ella, i believe is going to live in New Zeland and it was a nice way for her to sign off for the Vixens.

Vixens completed their fixtures by playing two 40 minute games against Doncaster Belles on the same morning.

The Belles won both games 4-1, the girls tried hard enough, but the Belles are clearly the best side in the league, and were deserved winners of both games. Vixens did score two really good goals, the first a tremendous shot over the keeper from Nessie, and the second another one of Teneesha's special solo efforts.

So that is season 07/08 over, and i would imagine that everyone involved with the under 16s this season would have felt the same frustrations and disapointments that Tim and i have. we made a good start to the season, but suffered some serious injuries and the season slipped away from us.I would like to thank the girls who stuck to the task throughout the season, both in training and on matchdays. There is talk of us running an under 17 squad next season, i think that we will have to see how many players turn up for pre-season training and take it from there, one lesson from this season is that you need a squad of around 16 comitted and interested players.

Finally, it seems that Ella Parker and Stacey Saxton have both played their last games for the Vixens, these two good friends were already at the club when i brought Loz here five seasons ago. They have both been loyal and dependable, and i would like to wish them all the very best in whatever they do in the future, i hope that they will remember their time with the Vixens as happy days.
