Year 5-6 Girls Vs Godwin
Appleyard Shield match
Following on from our last match, the girls went up another gear and showed why Mr Campbell has such high expectations this season. We played Godwin, so there were huge bragging rights at stake. The girls performed extremely well, and the parents and Mr Campbell were more than proud. Following outstanding game play, we beat Godwin. knocking them out of the cup competition. The girls showed great team spirit, and demonstrated the skills and passages of play we have been working on during training. Well done girls, St Joseph's are proud of you!
Year 5-6 Girls Vs Richard Alibon
Year 5-6 Girls Vs Richard Albion
This was the girls’ first match of the season, and they were up against a very good, organised team. There were some fantastic individual performances, alongside a valiant team display. Special recognition needs to go out to Chimuanya and Rachel, as both their displays typified the fair but fighting spirit that St Joseph's is known for. The tenacity from the girls was to be admired and, if not for some erratic moments, we could have snatched a win. In the end, we lost the game 2-1, but we definitely announced ourselves as competitors to be feared!!!
Year 4-5 Boys Vs Eastbury
St Joseph's Barking put up a valiant displaying going toe to toe with a very well-organised Eastbury team. As a co-operative the team played extremely well, listening to the tactics given, and relentless in trying to win the game. Unfortunately, it ended in a goalless draw, but we are all very proud of the boys.
