Today the Year 5 & 6 Girls Development Football Squad had their first-ever football match as a team. The girls were very excited to get started.

At the start of the game in defence, we had Ailish (6F), Joni (6H), and Laila (6S) who did a great job clearing the ball and making some great tackles. Unfortunately, Holy Family School found a gap and slipped one goal past Ella (6F) our goalkeeper.  The pressure was now on the attack which was Elysia (5P), Emily (6S), and Ruth (6P) to start scoring some goals. Going into the second half changes needed to be made in an attack so Caitlyn (5P), Amy (5S) and Eliza (6H) all came on and we started to press more in the attack but somehow struggled to find the back of the net.

Finally, the final score was 10 - 0 to Holy Family when the whistle was blown at full time. The girls have learnt a lot from this game and are going to be ready for our next game.

Many thanks to all the girls who played today who showed resilience, and respect and could reflect on their own performance too!

Special Thanks to…

Ella (6F), Ailish (6F), Joni (6H), Ruth (6P), Amy (5S), Laila (6S), Caitlyn (5p), Elysia (5P) and Eliza (6H)
