Dominant performance from our U14s who reached the quarter finals of the County Cup football with a 7-0 win against John Henry Newman.
Presdales played some lovely football throughout, constantly pressing JHN into making mistakes and stealing the ball high up the pitch. It was an impressive team performance with everyone playing their part. Joint Coaches PoTM are Marlee Seymour and Amy Little. Well done to all the girls!
Well done to the U16s football team who beat Parmiters 7-1 in the County Cup. The match was fortunate to go ahead considering the sub zero temperatures but luckily Parmiters have a 4G pitch which withstood the weather better than grass.
Presdales were 3-1 up at half time and completely dominated the second half scoring 4 times without reply. Excellent team performance all over the pitch. Goals from Tonye x 4, Donya x 2 and Maia x 1.
Joint Coaches PoTM were Bella H with a strong display at centre half and Tonye with 4 goals. I’m afraid the extremely cold weather meant getting a team photo was challenging! Well done to all the girls!
Well done to our Year 7 netball teams who played against John Warner on Monday. The match was very close throughout but in the end Presdales won by 1 goal! POTM was Hermione Curzon! Great efforts from all of you!
Well done to the Year 9 netball team who played against Broxbourne last week in some very cold conditions! Presdales won 24-5 and the POTM was Alice Redhead. Great work girls!
Well done to the Year 10s who also played netball against Broxbourne last week! The A team won 29-10 and the POTM was Ava Lancaster and the B team lost 22-13 and the POTM was Evelyn Pearce!

The U14s finished 1st overall and now progress to the regional finals! Special mention to Charlotte who was undefeated in her singles matches. Well done to all of the girls who took part, there was some fantastic game play on display.
Our U12s recently faced a strong Beaumont team in the 3rd round of the U12s County Cup. The girls gave everything and never stopped trying throughout. Presdales looked like making a comeback when we started to get more chances and scored to make it 3-1 midway through the second half but the final result was 1-6 to Beaumont. Coaches Player of the Match was Grace Marston. Great effort girls.
Well done to the U13s Football Team who reached the quarter finals of the County Cup with a 3-1 win against a strong St Clement Danes side. Presdales dominated the first half and led 3-0 before conceding a goal just before the break. In the second half, we started slowly with St Clement Danes growing into the game and creating a number of chances. Following some formational changes, we re-asserted our control and had several good chances to make the scoreline more comfortable. However, the St Clement Danes goalkeeper was in inspired form and prevented further goals.
In the end, it was a deserved 3-1 win but we certainly made it hard for ourselves in the second half. The girls now progress to the quarter finals of the competition. Coaches Player of the Match was Aleksandra Ivaskeviciute who was outstanding in central defence. Well done to all the girls!
Congratulations to the Year 11 netball team who won 34-6 against Welsh visiting sixth form college Coleg y Cymooed last week! They played against an older age group and played amazing!! Well done ladies – Star Player was Sophie Wilson.
The Senior netball team also beat Coleg y Cymooed. They won 43-36! The teams were well matched but Presdales fought hard and came out on top!! Well done girls POTM Becky Gee
Strong performance from our U14s on Wednesday winning 9-0 against a good Broxbourne team in the District League. Presdales played some wonderful football on a challenging pitch, scoring 7 times in the second half to put the game out of sight. Coaches PoTM was Willow Storey. Well done girls!
Great effort from our U13s who narrowly lost 0-1 to Broxbourne in the District league. The match was evenly matched throughout and the result could have gone either way. Due to late withdrawals, Presdales didn’t have any subs. This made it more challenging for the girls but they showed amazing energy and commitment right to the end. Player of the Match was Lily Feast. Well done to all the girls!
Our Year 7s recently drew 2-2 against GOFFS in the District Football League. It was an extremely competitive game with Presdales leading 2-0 after 15 minutes. We had chances to extend the lead but didn’t take our chances.
GOFFS grew into the game in the second half and scored from a handball penalty to reduce the deficit. Presdales couldn’t convert further chances to extend the lead and GOFFS managed to find an equaliser late on. In the end a 2-2 draw was probably a fair result. PoTM was Ella Reynolds. Well done to all the girls.
Well done to our badminton players who played some tough friendly doubles and singles matches against a strong Haileybury team last week. Shout out to Charlotte Wilson who beat the Haileybury No. 1 ranked player in a great singles match!
Great performance by our Year 7s in the first round of the U12s County Cup on Monday, winning 9-1 against Grange Academy. This was the first time the girls had played a competitive match together and they performed brilliantly as a team.
Well done to all the girls, some great performances all over the pitch. PoTM was Ella Reynolds. Looking forward to the next round.
National Schools Cup – 3rd Round
Dominant performance from our U14s football team on Wednesday 8th against Woodlands School. The girls won 5-1 to go through to the 4th round of the National Schools Cup.
The girls created a huge amount of chances with our goal rarely threatened, but then found ourselves 0-1 behind from a breakaway goal. A tremendous effort from Keira Gale levelled the game and we entered the half time break at 1-1. Luckily the girls were more clinical in the second half scoring 4 times without reply. Two from Liv White and two from Mia Schillaci-Rowland. The second goal from Liv was the pick of the bunch where she slalomed around 4 players before calmly slotting the ball into the corner.
The girls showed great attitude and 100% commitment throughout. Our defence was particularly impressive, remaining calm in all situations and playing the ball out of danger areas confidently. Player of the Match, as voted by the girls themselves was Liv White. Coaches Player of the Match was Amy Little. Well done to all the girls for a fantastic win.
National Schools Cup – 4th Round
Definitely one of the best performances from our U14s football team winning 11-0 against Appleton School. This means we now enter the final 32 of the National Schools Cup.
The girls started brightly, creating several chances and soon opened the scoring. Lots of little interchanges, great wing play, passing triangles and one-twos made it a joy to watch.
At half time, Presdales led 7-0 and it could have been a lot more. Appleton asked to shorten the second half to 20mins. Presdales scored a further 4 goals to win 11-0. Hat-trick from Mia SR and 4 from Liv W.
Great work girls, onward to Round 5! The entire team played brilliantly. Appleton School was very complimentary and extremely gracious in defeat. You were all star players!
What a day!!!!!! We headed off to Ipswich on Friday 10th for the next round of the U14 National Hockey Championships. We played some amazing games in the first round, winning 5 and drawing one to put us top of our group! We had Stephen Perce in the final. Once again, they stepped on the pitch and worked the ball around the opposition and into the back of the net twice to give us a 2-0 lead… Perse got one back with 2 minutes to go….. but it wasn’t enough…. finishing 2-1 with Presdales being crowned U14 Regional Champions!!! They go through to the Nationals in February!! Well done girls, it has been a fab day with you all, you have made the PE department incredibly proud!! Star Player was Olivia Holme!
