A huge well done to our Year 7/8 Girls' Football Team who took part in their first mini tournament last week! ⚽ The girls had never played together as a team before, yet they performed brilliantly throughout the evening. They achieved an impressive record of two wins and one loss, which is a fantastic accomplishment for their very first tournament. A special mention goes to Mila, who captained the team superbly and supported her teammates with great positivity and encouragement all evening. Another big congratulations to Yasmin and Mila for scoring some fantastic goals! We are incredibly proud of every player for their teamwork, effort, determination and positive attitude. Well done, girls – let's keep up the excellent work! 💙⚽🏆
