Girls U13 Football

Congratulations to the Girls U13 football who competed in the ESFA Cup competition last week.

The squad consisted of majority Y7 students and 4 Y8’s: Elli-Rose, Talyah, Eliza S, Marlie-Rose, Amelia J, Chrisandra, Lavinia, Arabella, Maisie, Jessica B, Francesca, Anastasia and Eliza H.

The team came up against a strong All Saints Catholic team from Dagenham and Redbridge, at half time the score was 1-1 with a goal from Ellie-Rose, early in to the second half All Saints took the lead with a quick response from Amelia to make it 2-2.

The team battled for the whole match in extremely difficult conditions, relentless rain and a muddy pitch made it difficult for the girls to play the ball around and to feet but didn’t stop trying for the whole match.

In the end All Saints came out on top having held them at 2-2 for a considerable amount of time in the second half.

Well done to all the team, a lot of whom have never played a competitive match before, we look forward to playing some more matches to build on the enthusiasm and commitment they showed against All Saints.
