Y8/9 Girls Football

With the continued rise of girls’ football at Park High, three teams were entered into the Pendle Tournament. The competition was split into A and B leagues, and we are proud to celebrate that both our Park won their respective leagues. A total of 21 students represented the school, showcasing excellent technical ability and teamwork. For many, this was their first experience of competitive school football, making the achievement even more impressive. Across all fixtures against schools from around Pendle, there was only one defeat, with the remainder resulting in wins — a fantastic reflection of the girls’ quality, determination, and consistency throughout the tournament. Several individual performances deserve special recognition. Iona has shown significant improvement in goal, conceding just two goals across the tournament. Her reaction time and agility were instrumental in helping to win the tournament. Paige’s vision and game intelligence were a joy to watch, allowing her to read the game effectively, defend with composure, and instil confidence in her teammates. Finally, twins Evie and Indi demonstrated outstanding determination and work ethic. Their relentless pressure gave opponents very little time on the ball, and their mental strength complemented their technical ability superbly. Congratulations to all three teams and every player who represented Park High — a fantastic achievement, with many more successes to come.
