On Saturday the 8th January a very young 'Castle under 16 girls team played well in the 2nd round of the National Cup, but went down out to Tameside and North Riding in two 2-0 defeats. By beating Wirral 2-1 the girls came 3rd in the group, and coach Ant Viggars was heartened by their performance, indicating he felt that this young team would make the Top 8s again next season, which bodes well for this season's under 15s.
