Girls Test Park football tournament

A team of Oakwood girls took part in the School Games Girls football tournament this afternoon. Despite never having played together as a team, the girls really did Oakwood proud.

Their results were:
Oakwood 1 - 0 Townhill
Oakwood 2 - 0 Freemantle
Oakwood 3 - 0 Hollybrook
Oakwood 3 - 0 Fairisle B
Oakwood 0 - 0 Springhill A
Oakwood 0 - 0 Kanes Hill
Oakwood 2 - 0 Bassett Green

The meant that Team Oakwood topped their group and advanced to the semi-finals. Oakwood met Ludlow and in the short (5 minutes) games Oakwood struggled to break through a compact Ludlow defence. Eventually Ludlow make a break with the ball and scrambled the ball past the Oakwood 'keeper. The score finishing 0 - 1.

Oakwood's final game was therefore the 3rd/4th place play-off. Oakwood played well to beat Springhill 1- 0 - Shannon grabbing the only goal of the game.

Oakwood conceded only 1 goal in nine games which was staggering!

Well done to all the team, but special mention to player of the tournament, Shannon.

Goal scorers: Shannon (7), Kayla (2), Molly (1), Praise (1)
