Girls Football Cup vs Wheatfields

The girls played their 3rd game of the season in the district cup against Wheatfields on the 11th of November. With a slightly changed side hopes where high of a win this time.

As the game started the girls played well and held there shape but where undone by a long ball through the middle going down 1 - 0. Despite this early setback, the girls kept their heads up and where quickly level as Francisca scored the teams first goal of the season.

Wheatfields then took more control as they worked their way to a commanding 4 - 1 lead just after half time but the girls never gave up and Francisca managed to score 2 more goals completing a hat-trick.

The team then smelt blood and pushed on for the equalizer and then the winner. However, as is the way, when pushing forward the opposition caught us on the break and score a 5th. the match ended 5-3 to Wheatfields meaning we are unfortunately out of both cup competitions now but the girls very much enjoyed the game and were pleased with scoring their first goals.

Again a big thank you to all the parents who came to support the girls.

Girls Football League vs Skyswood

Last Thursday, the girls played their first match within the league against Skyswood.

The girls were determined to put the last game behind them and start their league campaign well. In the first half, the sides where equally matched, however Skyswood managed to sneak a lead from a long ball forward.

As the second half began we began to take more control of the ball and gained more and more possession which lead to a succession of close chances. as we pushed for the equalizer Skyswood managed to catch us on the break however the heroics of Jade in goal managed to keep them out. Unfortunately, before the game ended we were unable to score an equalizer and Skyswood scored a second leading to a 2-0 loss.

Despite the score, the girls showed great heart and a great improvement in thier play leading us to hope for improved results in the future.

A big thank you must be given to all the parents and family who came to support the girls and helped with lifts to the game.

Football Match v Wheatfields

The boys A team played in a league match today against Wheatfields.  As usual it was a hard fought game.  We scored first with a confident goal from Joe, taken when their goal keeper was out of position. However before the end of the first half they struck back to level the score.   In the second half both teams had chances and we had a narrow escape with Henry clearing off the line.   The game ended in a well deserved draw 1-1.
Our next game is a league mathc against Cunninghamhill on Thursday 20th Nov.

Wix Cup Football Match V Mount Pleasant Lane

On Thursday our A team replayed their Wix Cup match v Mount Pleasant Lane.  From the start our boys showed determination and great team spirit, with lots of excellent passing and defending.  So it was well deserved when we went 1-0 up before half time.   In the second half MPL were strong, but we held on and scored 2 more goals, so that the final score was 3-0.  This means we go through to the next round against St Bernadettes on the 24th November.
Well done boys.
