Pride in defeat

On Thursday the U16 had a Lancashire Cup football fixture against Rossall.  On the day of the game with a number of players unavailable at short notice we only had 9 players.  However, the girls were determined they wanted to play and give it their best, despite knowing how difficult this would be.

Playing against a well drilled and highly skilled Rossall side the girls acquitted themselves superbly.  Despite the final scoreline being an 8-1 defeat every single one of them did themselves and the school proud as the worked until the very last minute.  It was a performance full of courage, determination and resilience and we are extremely proud of their efforts.  We are still in the English Schools Cup and hopefully our squad will be back up to full numbers for the game against Brownedge St. Marys with the date to be confirmed.

A huge well done to the girls.
