It was a great experience for 9 of our girls football squad this afternoon when we played against Mount Pleasant Primary School. After conceding a very early goal, the girls started to find their confidence and dominated the game for large periods. Izzy and Daisy were strong in defence and Merci was as reliable as ever by pulling off a couple of important saves. Our midfielders and strikers worked tirelessly and had most of the possession but we just couldn’t take our chances in front of goal. Despite going 3-0 down, we kept persevering and eventually got our reward when Poppy fired home from the penalty spot to make the final score Mount Pleasant 3-1 Myddle. Hopefully the girls will continue to practise during the Summer holidays and take part in the girls football training / matches that we shall be organising when they return.

Now it’s the turn of the other girls in the squad to play their first game next Tuesday after school when they face a selected group of Y2&3 children also from Myddle.

Just to let you  know we should be back at Myddle by 3:30
