Middlesbrough Girls u11

🔵🏆🔴 3 Days of Football Ahead! 🔴🏆🔵

A big 3 days coming up for the girls next week at the Herlingshaw, including 2 tournaments and plenty of football! ⚽🙌

The girls are still learning to play together as a squad with lots of new faces joining the team, and although we're missing a couple of players this weekend, the squad is looking strong and ready to go. 💪

We've spent the last couple of weeks working hard on our attacking play in training, focusing on creating chances, moving the ball quicker and building strong connections across the pitch. Just as important, we're continuing to build friendships and team spirit to help improve our play as a team. 🤝⚽

It's going to be a busy, fun-filled few days with plenty of football, smiles, memories and hopefully lots of goals along the way! 😁🔥

🔵 Bring on Thursday, Friday and Saturday! 🔵

🦁⚽ 🔴 Lionesses Adventure! 🔴 ⚽🦁

While many of us were enjoying the weekend at home, Elsie and Sadie were off on an incredible football trip to watch the Lionesses in action overseas! 🌍✈️⚽

Travelling to another country to watch international football is a fantastic experience and one I'm sure they'll remember for a long time. Seeing the Lionesses represent their country on the international stage, in front of thousands of fans, is enough to inspire any young footballer.

Both girls have recently earned places at Durham Academy for next season, a brilliant achievement and a reward for all the hard work they've put into their football. 👏💙

It's great to see opportunities like this both on and off the pitch, creating memories, gaining experiences and continuing their development in the game.

We hope you both had an amazing trip and enjoyed every minute of it! 🦁⚽💙

⚽ 🔴 School Tournament Stars 🔴 ⚽

Over the last couple of days, some of our girls have been representing their schools in a local tournament, and it's been brilliant to see them enjoying their football and doing themselves proud. 🙌

There were some fantastic goals scored by all three girls throughout the tournament, along with plenty of hard work, determination and teamwork on display.

🧱 Jazmin was as solid as ever at the back, producing some great defending and proving once again why she's such a tough player to get past.

✨ Fleur showed off some brilliant skills, creating opportunities and adding some excellent goals to her tournament tally.

💪 Rebeka put in a dominant all-round performance, making her presence felt across the pitch and contributing at both ends.

It was great to have them all back at training on Thursday night with their teammates. No tournament for us this weekend, but with two busy tournament weekends coming up, the girls have earned a well-deserved break before we go again! ⚽💙

🏆🌟🔴 DOUBLE AWARD WINNERS 🔴 🌟🏆

So incredibly proud of these two girls who not only represent us every week, but also pull on the shirt for Cleveland Juniors on a Sunday.

One of the things I love most is hearing positive comments about our players from opposition managers. When people tak their time to praise your attitude, ability and work ethic, it says everything about the type of player and person you are.

A special mention to Mourne and everyone involved at Cleveland Juniors for helping support and develop these girls along the way. 👏⚽

🥇 Elsie had an unbelievable season, winning the Golden Boot as top goalscorer for Mourne's team. As if that wasn't enough, she was also awarded the Frank Rush Memorial Trophy.

This isn't just another award. It is presented to ONE player across the entire Cleveland Juniors club each season and recognises outstanding achievement, dedication and contribution. Elsie received it for everything she has accomplished this year, including her performances for both teams, earning a place with Durham Academy and being recognised by Dortmund.

A fantastic achievement and one that is thoroughly deserved. The scary thing is she's only just getting started. 💙

🏆 Rebeka was awarded Manager's Player of the Year, an award that reflects so much more than goals and assists.

It recognises commitment, attitude, effort, reliability and the standards you set for yourself and those around you. Every coach loves players they can depend on, and Rebeka is exactly that. Week after week she gives everything for her team, works hard, listens, learns and continues to improve.

A brilliant achievement and one she should be extremely proud of. 👏

Both girls are fantastic examples of what can be achieved through hard work, dedication and a willingness to keep learning. 💙⚽

🏆 LEAGUE & CUP OVER! 🏆

That’s officially the end of the season for the girls ❤️⚽

It may not have finished exactly how they wanted, but when we look back at this season, these girls should be unbelievably proud of themselves.

With SIX new players coming into the squad — some completely brand new to football — this team still managed to take points from an unbeaten side and finish SECOND in the league 👏🔥

At the start of the season there were plenty of doubts around this team… but we believed from day one, and the girls who stayed loyal, kept believing and stuck together have been rewarded ever since 💙

From travelling to Spain 🇪🇸, playing teams all over the country, making memories with their best friends and now heading into an exciting summer of tournaments… these girls are getting experiences they’ll never forget ☀️🏆⚽

What we have now is an unbelievable group with talent, character and so much potential. Still lots to improve, but that’s what we do best 💪

We are STILL the ONLY team in the TJFA at this age group to have players offered academy places — and every single year we’ve had players move on into academy football 👏

This year alone we’ve had TWO more players offered places at Durham Academy 🔥
And word on the street is… we’re the ONLY team this year AGAIN 😉⚽


We also want to say a MASSIVE thank you to every team we’ve played this season 👏⚽
And a huge well done to all the kids we’ve played against and made friends with along the way, as well as all the opposition parents and managers too ❤️

Grassroots football is about memories, friendships and experiences — and this season has given the girls plenty of all three 💙

Now it’s time for tournament season!!! 🏆🔥

Starting TOMORROW…
POOLS YOUTH… LET’S GO!!!! 💙⚽

MASSSIVE THANKS TO THE ACCOUNTANT FOR SPONSORING US ALL SEASON !

BIG GAME DAY 🔥⚽️

Tomorrow the girls step into the League Cup Semi-Final as they take on Boro Rangers Girls Reds 💪

The Reds have shown massive improvement, finishing their season on a real high — exactly how you’d want to go into a game like this. It’s going to be a tough test, no doubt.

But our girls are ready. Focused. Determined. Together. 💙

Let’s hope they rise to the occasion and put in a performance to be proud of 👊

Good luck girls — go and show what you’re all about! 💥⚽️
