Year 8 & 9 girls football team's courageous tournament fight

Tuesday, 5 December saw the last of the girls' 7-a-side tournaments held at Leyland St Mary's. 

The team began a very frosty football fight against their South Ribble competitors. We didn't get off to the best of starts against Penwortham Girls High School, however we gradually began to get into our stride after that, with less goals conceded thanks to goalkeeper Jess J. 

As each game passed by, the girls kept fighting and working together as a team with some great defensive work from Georgia and Kelsey stopping the attack from their opponents. 

The attempts from our attack just kept on coming, with Lainie and Millie narrowly missing, until Lexi scored our first goal! 

Team Coach and PE Teacher, Miss Beesley, said, "In the end, the tournament just wasn't meant to be for Priory, finishing in 7th position overall. However, thank you girls for continuing to be determined and carry on in the freezing conditions!"

Well done team :Jess J, Georgia R, Kelsey-Rae D, Sienna M, Lainie W-S, Millie D, Harriet H, Keira H, Emily A, Lexi S.
