# Year 7 and 8 Girls Football Team

The Year 7 and 8 girls' football team took part in a 7-a-side competition, held by grassroots team, Euxton Girls.

We are very proud to say that the team finished runners up in the final. They were unbeaten in the group stages, drawing 1 and winning 2! The semi-finals brought nerves of steel moments, as it went to penalties which meant that our step in goalkeeper Kate A was in action and saved two penalties to take us to the final!

As finals go, it was very end to end, you know how people say they scored with the last kick of the game, but then there was around 2 minutes left after it, Parklands A team literally scored with the last kick of the game to win 1-0 with the final whistle going straight after we restarted the game.

We are super proud of the girls involved, also bearing in mind it was a mixed Year 7/8 competition, and the team consisted of 2 Year 8 and 5 Year 7 students.

The future is bright!

Mr O'Neill.
