Junior House Football Day 1

Many thanks to Henry Blois-Brooke for providing a report of the days events. Things are looking good with our teams having notched up some significant wins.

We started our first match against Everett A. We kicked off and within a couple of minutes we scored a goal (cannot remember who scored). Everett kicked off and the second half got even better. Henry Atkinson tapped it to Christian Marks and Chris smashed it into the Everett goal. Final score 0-2 to Skipwith.


After a great win against Everett we played Orchard. Orchard are a very strong football house so we knew that this match was going to be tough match! We kick off and Orchard stole the ball from us and their striker ran down the centre of the pitch and kicked it into our goal and made the score 0-1 to Orchard. We were all even more determined to win now and went into the second half with our heads up. Jacob made an amazing run into the Orchard's goal box. Jacob was fouled and we got a penalty. Henry Atkinson chose Elliot Jordan kicked it into Orchards goal which made the score 1-1. There was 5 minutes to go and we played that last 5 minutes amazingly. I ran the side of pitch and then passed it to Christian Marks who propelled the ball into Orchards goal at speed. Final score 2-1. Close match!
