Year 7 and 8 girls' football team achieves a remarkable double victory, securing the league title and being crowned Hampshire Cup Champions.
This year, our Year 7 and 8 girls' football team has performed outstandingly and truly exceeded expectations. At the start of the year, Mr Davidson set them a goal - and they absolutely delivered.
The girls not only won the league but also made it to the Hampshire Schools Cup Final, where they faced a tough and physical Bittern Park School side. The final was a fiercely contested and high-energy game.
Despite Bittern Park’s strong presence, our girls showed incredible teamwork, resilience, and determination. A perfectly timed through ball from Amelia found Teigan, who slotted in our first goal to give us a 1-0 lead. Shortly after, Isobelle scored a brilliant second goal from distance, catching the goalkeeper off guard and putting us 2-0 ahead.
We went into the second half with a lead to protect, and that’s exactly what the team did. Every player gave their all, with standout saves from goalkeeper Isabella helping us maintain the advantage. Bittern Park managed to pull one back with a long-range effort, but smart substitutions from Mr Davidson and a collective team effort ensured we held on to secure a 2-1 victory.
Congratulations to the team on their outstanding achievement in winning both the league and the cup. We commend your dedication, teamwork, and perseverance.
