Queens’ School’s Under-15 Girls football team won the National Cup in impressive style on Wednesday, thrashing Laurence Jackson School 5-0 in the final.

The national champions, who are unbeaten this season and have already won the County Cup, made it two trophies in two weeks with a classy display that their opponents from Guisborough couldn’t match.

The match was played at Pride Park, the 33,597-seater home of Derby County, and both sides showed signs of nerves early on.

However it wasn’t long before Julia Waller made the breakthrough for Queens’, coolly rounding the goalkeeper before applying the finish to make it 1-0 to the Bushey team at half-time.

The second period then saw Queens’ roll through the gears as Jordan Littleboy claimed a hat-trick with three well-worked goals and Lilly Clarke added another with a shot into the top corner from the edge of the area to round off the win.

Coach Kate Wilding said: “It’s amazing, it’s not really sunk in yet to be honest.

“We’ve been back in school and everyone has been wishing us well and saying congratulations.

“The girls were absolutely buzzing afterwards, they were singing on the bus all the way home – it was a really, really good day.”

Queens’ were never really tested at any stage in the tournament, winning eight rounds to reach the final and dishing out another hammering in the semis where they beat Corfe Hills 6-2.

Several of the girls play football outside school and are attached to clubs including Watford, Garston and the Middlesex Centre of Excellence.

“The team were just dominant in the whole competition,” Wilding said. “Against every team they’ve faced the girls have been the better team so to perform really well again in the final was great for them.

“Pride Park was a really good stage for the final – the pitch was brilliant and we took a coach of supporters up as well and they were really noisy which just added to the atmosphere of the day.

“We were in the home dressing room which was nice and big –some of them had never had an experience anything like that before.”

The young guns had already won District and County titles and Wilding said the girls had long had their sights set on adding national honours to their collection.

“They’ve wanted it for years and that’s what we’ve been working towards – the National Cup was the only thing left for them to win,” she said.

“Their success comes from their attitude, their dedication to training, their togetherness and their drive to be national champions.

“I couldn’t fault them, I’m so proud of them for all their hard work and dedication this season and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of girls.”

The team will stay together for another year as they move into Year 11 in the autumn.

Wilding added: “I get to keep them again next year in the Under-16s so we’ll try our best to retain it.

“I’ll allow them a little rest over the summer and then we’ll come back in September and try and do it all again.”
