First, on Tuesday they took part in the Primary Stars Girls World Cup Celebration at the Beacon of Light. A 5-a-side tournament in the style of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, the girls’ represented Chile. After the first round of group matches, they were entered in to the Bronze tournament – which saw a fantastic set of performances secure four wins out of four games to win the trophy!
If this fantastic achievement wasn’t enough, the girls then carried their wonderful form over to the Jill Scott Cup held at home on Thursday evening. The first game saw a tenacious performance rewarded with a 2-0 victory over St Benets B. This was followed by another fantastic display, leading to a 2-1 victory against a talented St John Boscoe team. Although the next game saw a 2-0 defeat to St Benets A, the girls did not let it get the better of them and saw out a 0-0 draw against Town End Academy to secure second place and progress to the final! It was fantastic to see the girls grow in confidence, play good football, show great resilience and above all really enjoy themselves. They represented the school perfectly, and we are all extremely proud of them.
