Monday 5th December saw the Girls’ football team play their first league match against Welland Academy.  Our hosts were polite, thoughtful and provided a fantastic pitch to play on.  We were determined to score this week and an early goal from Syanna put us ahead.  With some strong defence from Lucia and Poppy we were able to hold them off until the last minute of the first half when they managed to make it through.  In the second half both sides really stepped up their game.  Sophie and Scarlett came into their own trying their best to get the ball into the box for a winning goal.  Sadly this didn’t happen, but Milena our goalkeeper saved the day, thwarting a last minute attempt - both sides stood in shock at the brilliant save!  We came away happy and muddy with a draw. Maybe next month we will come away with our win!
