Weekend game review
A bright, sunny, Autumnal morning saw the Hotshots playing Binfield Lionesses at home. Binfield were a feisty, skilful team which resulted in an exciting, physical, hard-fought game.
Hotshots took an early lead through Caitlin, against the run of play (to quote the Gaffer, ‘You don’t deserve that, girls!’). Strong defending from Phoebe and brave goalkeeping from Ruby kept Binfield at bay for much of the second half. Binfield scored midway through the half but a well-taken goal from the birthday girl, Chloe, saw Hotshots going in at halftime 2-1 up.
The second half saw some rough exchanges, and both teams threatened to score. Hotshots struck first with a fabulous volley from Flic following a brilliant corner from Sienna. Binfield then hit back, converting a penalty to take it to 3-2. Caitlin scored an excellent, long-range effort to take it to 4-2. The girls battled to keep in the lead but Binfield scored 2 goals in the last quarter of the game. POTM - Phoebe
FT score - 4-4.

Weekend game review
A wet, miserable Saturday for Hotshots this week and an away match against joint top-of-the-table Sandhurst!
The rain seemed to dampen the team’s spirits and from kick off we were missing the usual energy from the team. A goal from Sandhurst 20 minutes in saw an early 1-0 lead for the opposing team.
A hard tackle on Caitlin in the box saw the ref award a penalty just before halftime. The pressure got to her though, and she missed, sending the ball sky high!
Hotshots came back after half time with a bit more drive, and thankfully a second half goal from Sienna means the team secured a draw. POTM went to Sienna and Livia.
FT score 1 – 1.

This week Hotshots played their first home game of the season against Penn & Tylers!
The winning streak continued for Maidenhead Hotshots with a strong first half seeing awesome goals from Caitlin (4), Livia (1), and Elouise (1)! Penn and Tylers battled and scored a goal just before the ref blew for halftime.
The 2nd half saw Penn & Tylers score again, with the Maidenhead defense and goalkeeper working hard to prevent any further goals.
A further two powerful shots from Maidenhead found the back of the net, with Bea (1) and Sienna (1) joining the score sheet and securing the win!
Another amazing performance by Maidenhead Hotshots, well done girls!
POTM went to Chloe and Livia.
FT score 8 - 2 to Maidenhead Hotshots.

Weekend game review
The first game of the season saw Hotshots heading off down the M4 for a match against Shinfield! The match was a great start for the girls, with strong performances all round, lots of energy, good passing and attacking play. The girls showed what a strong and solid team they are after the summer break, picking up right where they left off.
The first half proved a bit of a goal frenzy for Maidenhead with great strikes from Sienna, Livia and two from Caitlin, all finding the back of the net, and a first half clean sheet from keeper Ruby.
The 2nd half was a bit more evenly matched and saw Shinfield pull a goal back, before two more Maidenhead goals from Caitlin and Sienna sealed the deal.
All in all, a very convincing start to the season for Maidenhead Hotshots, well done team. POTM went to Caitlin and Ruby.
FT score 6 - 1 to Maidenhead Hotshots.
