OWPS ESSFA U11 County Finals

Having qualified for the count finals day having won a competition in Peterborough, we headed off to Cambridge to compete against the best team in the county. 

We started off playing Bushmead, with the games being 7 minutes a half, it meant that the girls didn't need to panic. A few minutes into the half the girls managed to score a great goal, with the final result ending 5-0. We then played Fordham, a very good team, with some excellent players. It was an amazing match to watch, both sides battled to earn a 2-2 draw. We knew we had to win the last game to qualify, and we did so right at the death, we went 1-0 down to turn it around with a 2-1 win. This put us into the semi finals, we played 2nd in the other group due to us winning ours. It started off as a cagey game, but Wistow came out 3-0 winners. This meant we were the finalist. We met with Fordham again. The game finished 2-0 to Fordham who thoroughly deserved the win. 

I couldn't be prouder of the girl's team. Considering half of team had never played football before to now being the second-best team in Cambridgeshire is a massive achievement.
