Football

Year 8

Well done to the Year 8 team who played Haileybury in a district football match last week. It was an evenly contested match played in great spirit. Both teams showed 100% commitment in horrid wet and cold conditions on a muddy pitch. The girls came back from 0-1 behind at half time to lead 2-1 with about 10mins left. Haileybury equalised from a corner with the match ending in a 2-2 draw which was a fair result. Coaches player of the match was Jasmine Sims.

U16s

Fantastic 4-1 win for our U16s football team against STAGS yesterday. The girls now qualify for the Quarter Finals of the County Cup.

This was a hard fought win against a strong STAGS team. Both teams creating good chances and it was closely contested throughout. After going 2-0 up, STAGS fought back to 2-1 and then hit the inside of the post which was a heart in mouth moment! Our third goal, which was a wonder strike from 25 yards into the top corner by Rimini helped to calm the nerves. Rimini then completed her hat trick with a lovely solo goal to effectively end the tie at 4-1. Our other goal was scored by Amber L who took the penalty after she was fouled in the box following an amazing run.

I was so impressed with the entire team for showing such desire and commitment. It was a bitterly cold day but the girls certainly kept themselves warm with the amount of running they did. The girls did put their coats on for the team photo, but I can assure everyone they didn’t play with them on!

Player of the match voted by STAGS was Eva C. Coaches player of the match shared jointly between Rimini and Amber L who were both outstanding in central midfield. All the girls were amazing!
