Year 8 and Year 9 Football South Ribble Cup
The Year 8 and Year 9 teams came together to represent our school in the U14s South Ribble Cup on Tuesday 18th March. The team played exceptionally well together and had to adapt to each other’s experience and abilities within their game. Many students played in positions they do not often play and adapted brilliantly into their role. All Hallows took the lead at half time with a score of 1-0 and the girls really picked themselves up after a couple of tactical changes for the remainder of the game. During the second half, the girls lifted their heads and worked together as a team to bring the score line to 1-1 taking them into extra time. The team’s performance was incredible, resulting in the girls winning the game 3-1 in extra time! Well done, girls! The PE department are so proud!
