Year 7/8 Girls Football V Wordsley School.

On Tuesday 18th of October 2011 Thorns year 7/8 girls played against Wordsley school.

Today we played Wordsley School under 13’s girls. We started off playing some good football, winning the possession every time. Everyone played their part from the defenders to midfielders to the strikers. Soon into the start of the match thorns passed some good balls and got it up the opposition end straight away. Britanee took the ball through all the defence skilling them all and soon found the back of the net with a quality shot. Thorns were 1-0 up. The ball was in Wordsley half a lot throughout the first half and not long before the whistle went thorns had another goal, but this time it was an own goal from the Wordsley defence.

Half time, 2-0 to thorns.

As the second half whistle went thorns got straight in at the ball but Wordsley were putting up a defensive fight. They were not giving up but we were also fighting hard. Thorns were battling hard and soon picked up a lot of passes and found the back of the net again with Megan shooting hard with a strong foot, 3-0. As the game progressed edging towards the final whistle both teams were equal and no goals were then scored. The whistle went. Thorns won 3-0 against Wordsley School. Well played everyone, we deserved the win!
