A fantastic opportunity for the girls to play in their first football fixture of the year in the small schools cup competition. Unfortunately, the result was not one we wanted but the performance was excellent and every player on the pitch gave it 100% and should be proud of their performances. The game started brightly, a few key tackles in defence by Grace and Lucy, before a great pass by Grace put Flora through on goal and she made no mistake with the finish. As the half went on the team started to tire and conceded a couple of goals and the team were 3-1 down at half time. Again, another bright start to the half and some really nice football was played. Mia, Flora, Lily and Mog were linking up well in attack while Grace, Rose and Lucy did an excellent job at keeping the opposition out with a strong and well organised defence. Soon Mia pulled a goal back with an excellent finish, before Mog put the scores level at 3-3 shortly after. Hannah was called upon a few times in goal and made some excellent saves. Unfortunately, tired legs set in again and the team just couldn't get over the line. A hardworking and really positive team performance and I look forward to more football fixtures in the future with this team
