A fantastic start to the season for the girls this morning saw them win all three games comfortably.
In the first game against Ashley Primary the girls won 5-0 with Lola scoring all 5 goals. This included a superb solo effort from Lola who picked up the ball in her own box and ran the length of the pitch before curling home from the edge of the box.
In the second game against St Peter’s and Paul’s the girls won 3-0. Lola scored two goals early to put us in charge and a first ever goal for Lucie finished the scoring.
In the third game the girls beat Forest View 4-0, Erin scored early on and then Lola scored three goals to put the game beyond doubt.
An excellent morning of football with girls playing their first ever games and playing with a smile on their face. ⚽️

This week the Harton school team played games against St Peter’s and Paul’s and St Gregory’s.
In the first game the team fell behind early but fought back through an own goal to go in at half time level. In the second half a goal each for Ollie and Daniel put the team 3-1 up but St Peter’s and Paul’s pulled it back to 3-2 and in the last minute a lucky deflection meant they were able to pull it back to 3-3.
In the second game the team again went behind early but a goal by Alfie meant the scores were level at half time. A wonder strike from Daniel put us ahead and only a good save prevented us from going further ahead. St Gregory’s made it 2-2 near the end and Oscar pulled off a last minute save to keep the scores level.
Two really good games of football played in a really good spirit.
