Girls' Football Team

Girls' Football Team

The team took part in the inaugral Tameside Girls Cup competiton playing against a strong St. Mary's RC. The match took place regardless of Storm Gareth doing its best to prevent play. On top of the tough conditions we played without any substitutes, due to illness, but the girls played their part in a non-stop end-to-end encounter which they eventually lost 3-0. However, the effort and attitude shown bodes well for the future. Special mention must go to Lily Bowker, who although in Year 4, put in a Player of the Match performance, defending with dogged spirit throughout. Also a mention to another Bowker, Ella this time, who saved a 2nd half penalty. All the girls showed true grit and sporting behaviour throughout. Well done. 

PS - I must mention the sterling job done by Leighton and Luke who shared refereeing duties and prepared the team beforehand, as well as showing support during and after the game. True sports leaders of the future.
