We enjoyed two successful U9 fixtures against KHVIII on Tuesday afternoon, with 16 children from Year 3 and 4 representing the school. The teams were evenly matched and play was end to end (which helped keep us all warm in the cold).
In the Year 4 team there was great drive from our midfielders Isabella, Amber and Evelyn, excellent tackling and clearing from the defenders Seren, Esme and Lilah and dynamic attacks from forwards Aria and Ava. It was lovely to see the progression the children made throughout the match as they tried to pass the ball wide and managed to link more passes together. Their determination in the circle was rewarded by 5 goals, with 1 goal conceded.
Player of the Match was awarded to Amber.
In the mixed Year 3 and 4 Team Crescent dominated the attack with some wonderful strong passing from Gloria, Ella and Charlotte to distribute the ball up front to Kiki, Penelope and Kiran. Nimeeta and Everly pushed up when defending to give lots of options and movement. Resulting in a 1-0 with 2 other goals disallowed as the ball was not touched in the D.
Player of the Match was awarded to Gloria.
