The Under 14s faced a tough challenge away at Wembdon but displayed remarkable persistence and positivity throughout a demanding match. The Wildcats started brightly, defending well and creating early chances, but Wembdon took the lead against the run of play. Despite conceding several goals before halftime (4–0), the team never lost spirit, continuing to show determination and unity.

After halftime, their renewed focus was evident as they pressed forward, looking to convert their effort into goals. Even as Wembdon extended the lead, the Wildcats stayed motivated and encouraged one another. Their persistence paid off in the second half when sustained attacking pressure earned a penalty. Faith D stepped up confidently to slot it home, making it 7–1 and giving the team a well-deserved moment of celebration. Though Wembdon added a late goal to finish 8–1, the Wildcats’ resilience, teamwork, and enthusiasm stood out. Casey P earned Player of the Match honours for her outstanding energy, grit, and all-round contribution.

The Under 15s hosted Ilminster in a rematch following the previous week’s fixture, producing a closely contested game full of quality and determination. The first half was even, with both sides displaying positive, attacking football. Defenders Jess B and Hallie SH were outstanding, thwarting Ilminster’s advances, while attackers Isla C and Mckayla H led the line strongly, supported by Faith NH, Lacey BG, Emily P, Kacie W, and Lily F.

Despite chances at both ends, the first half ended goalless. Playing into the wind after the break, Wildcats fell behind to a superb long-range strike, before Ilminster doubled the lead from a corner. The hosts responded immediately through excellent link-up play between Frankie P and Faith NH, setting up Mckayla H to pull one back and make it 2–1. Despite battling injuries and pushing hard for an equaliser, the Wildcats couldn’t find the finishing touch. Ilminster held firm to secure victory, but the Wildcats’ character and commitment shone through. Jess B, the captain, was named Player of the Match for her exceptional leadership and adaptability across multiple positions.
