The squad put in a strong, hard‑working performance over six rounds, displaying good teamwork, determination, and some really sharp moments of play. Across the tournament, the team played six matches, securing four wins and two losses. They scored a total of ten goals whilst only conceding three, showing strong defensive organisation alongside moments of excellent attacking play. A mention must go to captain, Belle, with her outstanding work rate and encouragement kept the team focused and motivated. Overall, it was a very positive afternoon with consistent improvement and a confident finish. The team secured third place overall, disappointingly missing out on second by just two goals. Team: Belle L (Captain), Reeva C, Laura T, Isla T, Isla W, Annisa O, Emma S, Sophie A, Lila W [PE & Sport](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/pe-sport) [Extra Curricular](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) [Year 7](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-7) [ Strong Showing from Priory Golfers in Close National Qualifying Bid](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-05-20-strong-showing-from-priory-golfers-in-close-national-qualifying-bid) [Reaching New Heights: Rewards Day Climbing Wall Experience ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-05-25-reaching-new-heights-rewards-day-climbing-wall-experience) ### Penwortham Priory Academy Crow Hills Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0JE 01772 320250 ### Useful Links - [New Year 7 Transition](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/transition) - [The School Day](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/the-school-day) - [Facility Hire](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/facility-hire-at-priory) - [Term Dates](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [Letters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/letters) ### Useful Links - [Newsletters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [OFSTED](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/ofsted-report) - [Online Payments](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/internet-payments) - [Staff Contact](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Vacancies](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/vacancies) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/priorystc) - [X](https://twitter.com/@priorystc) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/penworthampriory/) Penwortham Priory Academy Trust is operating as a single academy trust.
