Football
U12s
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.
U13s
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!
