Girls' Football League
The Girls' Football League got off to a flying start today for the reigning champions, St. Vincent's, with three straight wins. Playing back to back games, the girls showed attacking flair, vision, commitment and a competitive streak which saw them score 10 goals and concede only won.
Scarlet Egan was a fabulous goalkeeper even though she had to spend a lot of time watching the game.
Sophie and Cosi were assured in defence, showing good awareness and movement to stop the attacks.
Ana gave a Captain's performance, switching from position to position and giving the team strength throughout.
The midfield, led by Florence and Rebecca, was packed with grit and pace, quashing most attempts by the opposition to attack. Lottie and Izzy were impressive on their debuts for the team, tearing up and down the wings.
The star of the show was Harriet, who attacked throughout with determination and passion, scoring 6 of the team's goals (including one from far out that lobbed the goalkeeper).
All-in-all, Mr. Blain left the field with a huge smile and pride at the girls' excellent attitude to the game and to the opposition.
Well done girls!
