U10/11A v Sevenoaks Prep
The match at Sevenoaks prep went well. The score was 18-13 to us. We did very well, knowing they were a good team from the match before. I think the star players were Annabel and Jessica. Because Jessica is a great team player, she always gives us advice on passing or shooting and she is such a good player and always gives us options if we are stuck on the pitch. Annabel is also such a good team player and she is always amazing at shooting. The first quarter, we were tied 6-6 and in the second quarter, we were getting more and more goals until the score was 18-15, so we won the match. It was so close, but everyone played brilliantly.

U10/11C v Sevenoaks Prep
Unfortunately, we lost the game 3-1, but that didn’t matter as every single person in my team excelled! There were a few standouts. Lucy managed to score our first goal with the help of team support and confidence. Lottie was speedy and nippy and really helped to get the ball to the net. Lottie’s skills soon paid off when she got player of the match! After we had said our three cheers and voted for player of the match, we had a lovely match tea. Overall, winning or not, all of us had a really fun time!
U8/9B v Derwent Lodge
Russell House lost and the score was 0-6. We tried scoring lots of times, but they were very tall and their defence was better. In the second half, we switched positions, but this made no difference. The player of the match was Emilia, because she was moving into lots of spaces and passed the ball to other people who were in good spaces. We then did three cheers and went for match tea, which was sausage rolls and cake. Evie
