Quarter-final WIN!

Yesterday afternoon, the year 8 and 9 girl's football team took to the field to face Cobham free school in the quarter-final of the County cup.

With a 3:30pm kick off the students took to the field in a starting formation of 3-5-2. The first half started strong with the wind in our favour, we managed a 3-0 climb to the half time whistle. Some fantastic goals scored by Chloe and Lily with an own goal assisted by our own Charlotte T!

In the second half Cobham free school came back with a spring in their step and had a few good runs down our goal end but Jenny, Izzy and Imaan worked well to ensure it stayed out of the back of our net. Celebrations were almost had with goal scored by Winston however this was disallowed due to an offside technicality. Ava took a freekick, from just outside the box, an excellent strike met by an excellent save from Cobham's keeper, very unlucky for us! But, positively, we still we remain at 3-0.

The final whistle blows and it's a 3-0 for Winston! Now onto the semi-finals.

Well done girls. Excellent, excellent play!

Year 7 Girls Football

The Year 7 girls played their first round national cup game away in Chichester, Sussex in the Year 8 competition.

After a really strong first half where they led 1-0 thanks to Kitty’s goal, we were forced to defend pretty hard second half as the older team pressed on. About 10 minutes from the end they scored an equaliser, but the girls kept going and a through ball from Tilley found its way into the net to put Winston 2-1 up. We managed to hold out for the last few minutes to secure a really impressive win, as the opposition were at least a year older. The girls are now awaiting their next opponents but we know it will be another away trip, this time to Dorset.
