Earheart won an early goal, gaining them the first point of the match, swiftly followed by Ella scoring for Shelly levelling the score. Ella, Bebe and Mr Thomas were all dominant figures in the game which ended in a 5 all draw.

Even though Franklin’s team had a lack of players, they still played strong. Player of match for Lovelace was Georgina and for Franklin, Holly. In the second half of the game Lovelace drastically improved, creating a lot of tension between the two teams.

A special thanks to all the players, students, and teachers. A big thank you also to our organizing sixth form, our referees, reporters, as well as the timekeepers and commentators.
