Year 7 girls show promise in defeat

An excellent debut for our Year 7 Girls Football team as they took on Mount Carmel in their first Lancashire Cup tie experience!

Despite a tough start, with the opposition applying early pressure and scoring two quick goals within the first 15 minutes, the Park girls showed incredible resilience and determination. Rather than letting their heads drop, they dug deep and began to showcase their talent and teamwork.

After half-time, Park came out much stronger and dominated large parts of the second half. Lucy was outstanding in midfield, displaying superb determination and composure to launch quick counter-attacks. Claudia stood strong in defence, timing her tackles and interceptions perfectly to stop Carmel’s attacks. Orla and Frankie also impressed with their tireless work rate, constantly pressing and creating attacking opportunities. Gracie led the line brilliantly as a lone striker, showing great physicality and making dangerous runs that kept the opposition defence on their toes.

While the result didn’t go our way, the performance was full of promise. Considering it was their first game together, the girls should be extremely proud. There’s no doubt this team has huge potential – with more time and experience, success will surely follow!
