Football
vs St Albans High School
Well done to the U15s football team who reached the semi finals of the County Cup beating St Albans High School (STAHS) 2-0.
This was an accomplished performance with Presdales dominating throughout. STAHS defended exceptionally well and it proved difficult to find a breakthrough despite our control of the game. The first half ended 0-0.
The breakthrough came early in the second half with Sienna R winning a penalty which was coolly dispatched by Mia SR. The girls left it late to secure the result but a great header from Amy L direct from a corner put the game beyond STAHS.
Lots of great performances from the girls. Joint Coaches PotM goes to Mia SR and Amy L, who were outstanding throughout. A well deserved win and we now look forward to the semi final against either STAGS or Parmiters. Well done girls!
vs Ashlyns
An outstanding performance from the U15s football team beating Ashlyns 11-1 in the 5th round of the National Cup to reach the Round of 16. This is a fantastic achievement by The girls started a little bit slowly for the first 10 minutes, but started to find their rhythm.
A beautifully worked goal between Mia SR and Liv W gave Presdales a 1-0 lead. The girls never looked back after that and went into the half time break 6-0 ahead.
The second half continued much the same with Presdales playing some wonderful flowing football and some great goals. We are now looking forward to the Round of 16 and the chance to reach the Qtr Finals.
Goals were scored by Mia SR x 5, Ava M x 2, Marlee S x 2, Liv W x 2.
Very difficult to pick a PoM with so many accomplished performances, but it’s hard to overlook a 5 goal tally plus a fantastic all-round performance. Coaches PotM is Mia SR! Well done to all the girls. I’m really proud of all of you!
