Year 7 Girls’ Football Team Storm Into Next Round of ESFA Cup

Our Year 7 girls’ football team continued their impressive cup run yesterday with a thrilling 6–3 away victory against Uffculme in the ESFA Cup.
Coming off the back of a strong win against Lipson in the previous round, the squad travelled with plenty of confidence and started brightly. An own goal and a clinical finish from Hettie gave the team a well-deserved 2–1 lead heading into the break. After half-time, the girls kicked into another gear – led by a sensational display in front of goal from Hettie, who found the back of the net four more times to seal a dominant 6–3 win and book their place in the next round.
While Hettie rightly earned praise for her five-goal haul and constant threat up front, Player of the Match honours were shared between Eniola and Mia. Eniola dominated the midfield throughout, dictating the tempo and threading outstanding through-balls to unlock the Uffculme defence. Mia was equally impressive, delivering dangerous crosses all afternoon before showing great versatility to slot in out of position at centre-back for the second half.
Reflecting on the team's performance, joint-POTM Eniola said,
"We went into the match feeling really confident after our last win, and everyone worked so hard for each other from start to finish. It felt great to keep finding space in midfield and help set up chances - we're all buzzing for the next round!"
A massive well done to every player involved in another fantastic team display. We look forward to finding out who we will face in the next round!
