BIDEFORD have reached the final of the Devon Youth Under-14 Girls Cup.

A tremendous performance at Braunton saw them defeat previously unbeaten Kingskerswell Colts 4-2.

They will meet Ashburton side Ashmoor Girls in the final on March 28.

Bideford led 2-0 at half-time thanks to goals from Chelsea Hassan and Mollie Jones.

With other chances going begging, they were wondering whether they would rue not establishing a bigger advantage.

Kingskerswell found new enthusiasm in the second half and sprung the offside trap to beat goalkeeper Natalie Hubble.

With 12 minutes remaining Kingskerswell levelled after hesitant defending at a corner ended with a shot being deflected in.

Five minutes from time, player of the match Natasha Owen put Bideford ahead again. Seizing on a loose ball on the edge of the box, she beat an opponent and struck a sweet shot into the corner.

As Kingskerswell pushed forward in search of an equaliser, Bideford hit them on the break as Sophie Parish outstripped the defence and squared for Jones to slot her second into an empty net.
