Girls Football league vs St Bernadette's

The girls had their second league match of the year this time away to St Bernardette's.

It was a new team with a mix of experience from Year Six and enthusiasm from a few of the Year 5 girls. The game was played at a fast pace, so fast that we went down to an early goal but this did not get the girls down. They pushed on taking control of the game and had the lions share of the possession and territory. We had shot after shot before finally we managed to bundle the ball in for the equalizer.

The girls pressed and pressed for the final 5 minutes to get the winner but unfortunately luck wasnt on our side but we came away with a draw. 1 - 1.

Well done to all the girls who played and we will aim to improve on that result in our next league game.

Year 5 football match v Killigrew

On Friday a team of boys from year 5 played a friendly match against Killigrew. Despite only having seven players, due to illness, the boys played well throughout the game.  There was some very good passes which allowed us to score three very good goals in the first half.  Our defense was also strong so Killigrew had very few chances on goal.  In the second half we were a little tired and were unable to convert many of our chances. However, we did score one more goal, so that the final score was 4-0 to us.
Well done boys, a good result for the first year 5 game.

Football match v Wheatfields

On Thursday the A team played a league game against Wheatfields at home. Unfortunately we were down to just 7 players due to injuries so called on Sam, who had just come to watch, to be ready to play if we needed him  We played well and there wasn't much between the two teams. Then just before half time Wheatfields scored a very good goal.  At half time another of our players had to go off as he felt unwell, so our super- sub came on and played really well.  Despite a couple of chances we weren't able to find the goal and Wheatfields went on to win the game 3-0.

St Albans City Cup football match

On Tuesday the A team played against Skyswood in the St Albans City Cup.  It was a great game to watch, although a little tense at times!  The boys played really well with a lot of determination.  After a short break off the pitch Kobi came back on with renewed energy and scored two very good goals in quick succession.  Skyswood were able to get one back, but we managed to hold on to win 2-1.
A fantastic result which puts us through to the semi-finals to be played at Clarence Park (St Albans City home ground).  Date yet to be given.
Well done boys.

Wix Cup

On Thursday the A team played Cunningham Hill   in the semi-final of  the Wix Cup.  It was, as usual, a very close game with opportunities to score from both teams.  Both goalkeepers pulled off some fine saves, but we did manage to put one past their goalkeeper and hold on to our lead for the second half.  The final score was 1-0 to us and puts us through to the final against Fleetville on the 8th March.

A great result boys, well done!!
