Senior Football vs Marlborough

The senior football team rounded off the term in emphatic fashion with a commanding victory against consortium partners Marlborough.

Despite a slow start and several new faces in the line-up from both the Sixth Form and Year 11, the team soon found their rhythm. After 15 minutes, Theo O opened the scoring with a composed finish to put us ahead. Further goals from Josiah A. Scoring a wonderful 25-yard effort and another from Theo O extended the advantage, sending the team into half-time with a comfortable 3–0 lead.

Although the first-half performance fell short of the team’s usual high standards, the second half saw a marked improvement. Saeed capped off a superb team move shortly after the restart, a goal that the crowd described as “one of the best we’ve seen.” Emmanuel M then produced two outstanding individual efforts, with Josiah A adding his second of the match to complete a dominant display.

A late lapse in concentration allowed Marlborough to grab a consolation goal, but it did little to take the shine off an excellent performance. The match provided valuable opportunities to introduce new players and trial different formations, rounding off the term’s fixtures in style.

The senior team will return to action after the half-term break in the County Cup Plate against Dame Alice Owen’s School (DAO).

POTM: Emmanuel M & Josiah A
