Their coach says the girls “portrayed true team spirit” when each team member had a go in goal.
A spokesman said: “They played exceptionally well, unfortunately due to lack of experience and players they lost their first league game.”
The U14s boys also played their first 11-aside game in the Rover Colts League against the Swavesey Spartans Football Club.
The spokesman added: “The boys dominated the game with four goals from our captain, three from our striker and one from our holding midfielder.
“The final score was 8-2, winning their first home game.”
The U12s yellows played away against Chatteris Town, their coach says the boys “dominated the game”.
