Debut success for girls’ football team
Our U12/U13 girls’ football team made history by playing in – and winning – their first-ever competitive fixture.
The team claimed a 5-4 victory against St Mary’s College, with goals from Amelia (2) Faith (2) and Molly wrapping up the win in a tight and competitive match.
In doing so, they became not only the first girls’ team to ever represent Merchant Taylors’ in a competitive fixture, but also the first to claim a victory and also the first to receive the inaugural Merchant Taylors’ Team of the Week prize.
Director of Sport, Patrick Roberts said:
“I am absolutely delighted with the Year 7/8 girls’ footballers who represented Merchant Taylors’ with such passion, energy and enthusiasm. For some of the girls, this was their first ever game of football; I am incredibly proud of every single one of them who demonstrated such a positive attitude and a willingness to ‘give it a go’.
“A special thank you to Mr Sheen for motivating and inspiring the girls and leading the fixture.
“We hope that more and more girls will be inspired by their peers and will continue to attend not only the football club, but also the many other sports clubs we offer here, and represent our school teams. We want to further develop an ethos where all students can take advantage of the range of opportunities that are available.”
