After a great season in the league Ross were well prepared for their last fixture of the season, the Herefordshire Girls League Final on Sunday. The Ross-on-Wye Girls were to play Lads Club Lions at the Pegasus ground. The two teams had met in a pre-season cup final, the County Futsal Final and this was to be their third Cup Final meeting in one season.

The game started tentatively for both teams, on a larger pitch than usual, with the girls taking their time to adjust. The first half of ten minutes passed quickly with very few opportunities for either side, both defences being successful in breaking up any attacks. For the Ross team Violet, Hazel, Jenna and Lucy were holding their positions well.

The second half saw a better, more open game of football with Alisha, Izzy and Amelia causing Lads Club problems with some direct runs. Then the turning moment of the game came, Eva burst through midfield and played a great pass to the feet of Gracie. With her very first touch 'super sub' Gracie finished into the bottom of the goal to give Ross a 1-0 lead.
