Today the Year 5 & 6 Girls Performance football team had their first league match against Oaklands for the Ealing Girls Cup. 

On Thursday 16th November the girls had a glimpse into the standard of play from the Oaklands team as we drew in the final and went into penalties. We knew today was not going to be easy. The team's nerves were high. Oaklands players were intimated by all the school support as they were playing away.  

Fielding dominated possession throughout the match but unfortunately didn't manage to get a goal at the back of the net at halftime. Oaklands definitely put a lot of pressure on their defence. 

In the second half the girls were releasing the ball quicker to their teammates and Coco (5P) managed to score two goals. One from the halfway line and the second a deflection from the goalkeeper. 

Adelaide maintained a clean sheet and has not conceded a goal. Fielding's defence played a major role in preventing Oaklands from scoring. This is thanks to Daisy (5P), Miral (5H), Lois (5P), Darcy (6P), Alice (5S) and Martina (5S).  Equally in an attack Flo G (6S), Coco (5P) and Qamara (5S) had great chemistry making some excellent one-two passes which supported Coco's goal. 

Looking forward to our game against St Mark's on Friday. 

Special thanks to...

Qamara (5S), Flo G (6S), Coco (5P), Darcy (6P), Miral (5H), Martina (5S), Alice (5S), Adeliade (6S), Lois (5P), Daisy (5P)
