A TEAM of young female football enthusiasts got their first taste of big match glory on Saturday.
The newly-formed Richmond Town under-12s girls team played Coulby Newham in the North Riding and Tees Valley Girls' League.
They lost 6-0, but coach Steve Morris said all the players had a good time.
"We only have two or three girls who are under-12s and the rest are under-10s, so we are playing two years below our age group," he said.
"It was hard for them, but they thoroughly enjoyed it, even though they got beaten."
The side is still on the lookout for new players. Anyone interested can contact Steve on 07971 862016.
