Oasis Academy Sholing Girls Reach Football Tournament Final.
On Friday, 6th June, a team of Year 8 and 9 girls were invited to take part in an exciting football tournament at St Mary’s Stadium, competing against a number of schools from across the region.
Our Year 8 girls, who have already impressed this year by achieving a league and cup double, were joined by our Year 9s to form a strong and determined squad. The girls worked incredibly hard throughout the day, showing fantastic teamwork, commitment, and resilience.
Their efforts paid off as they fought their way out of the group stages and into the knockout rounds, eventually making it all the way to the final, where they faced Woodlands School. After a closely contested match, the game was decided on penalties, with our team narrowly missing out on the trophy.
While the girls were understandably disappointed, we want to express just how immensely proud we are of their achievements. To reach the final at such a prestigious venue is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and team spirit.
Please join us in congratulating our Year 8 and 9 girls on an outstanding performance and a runner-up finish. This year has been a tremendous success for girls’ football at our school, and we look forward to building on this momentum in the future.
Well done, team Sholing!
