The Girls Football team attended the annual St Albans 6 a side football tournament on Saturday at Fleetville school. On a very warm morning the girls were placed in a group with Killegrew, Bowmans Green and Skyswood schools.
The girls who were picked from Year 6 to Year 4 played excellently in the group stages. in the first game they controlled the ball well, dominating the match, and hit the post twice. Unfortunately they couldn't quite make the breakthrough drawing the game 0-0. Then came a very strong Bowmans Green team. thought the girls played excellently and had a few good chances the game was lost after a couple of good strikes from the Bowmans Green star player.
So the group came down to the final game against Skyswood. A win would see the girls through to the quarterfinals. Again the girls played excellently, dominating possession throughout much of the match. However, one momentary loss of concentration allowed Skyswood to score the opening goal and try as could our girls couldn't convert their possession into a goal, meaning we were out of the competition.
The girls should hold their heads high after a difficult season which we will look to build on next year. Thank you again to all the parents who came along to support the girls on Saturday.
