Year 6 girls football teams played brilliantly this Wednesday in a full afternoon of matchplay against 18 other New Forest school teams.
Both teams played at least 8 matches, which were exhausting to watch, but the girls showed great stamina and fitness levels throughout and fortunately we had no serious injuries.
The first few matches were goalless but we were attacking and defending well but not quite able to score the goals we deserved. As the event progressed, our set pieces fell into place and it was fantastic to see their skill, pitch positioning and teamwork develop. The shots were on target from both teams with some lovely team celebrations
I know the girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves and they can’t wait for more football events to be able to play and support each other. It was great to see so many teams participating in Girls Football, it shows how much the popularity of football continues to grow with girls and supports the FA Girls programme fantastically well.
Thanks again to our supporting parents, who were cheering almost as loudly me from the side lines.
