Girls Football @ University of Brighton
21st October
The girls football teams took part in the tournament at The University of Brighton. Our first competition back at the beginning of October was an introduction to football of many of our girls. Since the first competition we have had many new players joining our training sessions and so we were able to enter two teams at this event.
The development team did really well in the group stage, improving during every match. Their enthusiasm and resilience really was impressive and they came away with the motivation to train more and continue to improve their football.
The first team played well in the group stage and showed how much they had improved as a team. Following some great results, they went through to the cup in the second part of the tournament. This is where it became much more difficult, however, their collaboration as a team and personal excellence resulted in some fantastic goals. Even winning 2 games on penalties! The final game against Stanford was tough but really showed how the team played well and persevered. They thoroughly deserved to come 2nd in the tournament and were very pleased with their performance and runners up medals. Well done girls!
