The girls' football team put on an incredible display of determination and teamwork in Friday's match, despite ultimately falling to a narrow 1-0 loss against Holy Family. From the first whistle, it was clear that both teams were evenly matched, and the game would be a hard- fought contest from start to finish.

Throughout the first half, our team showed great resilience, with strong defensive performances and impressive efforts in the midfield. Our team displayed an unwavering commitment to stopping their opponents attacks, with some fantastic saves from our goalkeeper Sloane (6S). In attack, the girls pushed forward with purpose, creating a handful of chances, but finding the opponent's defense equally resolute.

Midway through the second half, a well- timed interception gave Holy Family the lead. Despite this setback, our girls showed immense character and fought until the very last whistle. A final strike from Jessica (5H) almost equalized, but unfortunately, was too wide.

While the score reflects a loss, the team should be extremely proud of themselves. The girls' commitment to the game and their team spirit was clear. With more opportunities to build on their strengths, they will continue to grow.
