GIRLS FOOTBALL By Jenna Lowe
L
ike the other sporting codes, 2020 was a short season for our Girls Football 1st XI team. The year started off with many new and exciting young faces in the team eager for the season ahead. We only ended up playing five of the seven round-robin games in the Counties Manukau Premier Competition but can be immensely satisfied with winning all five games to be top of the table alongside our perennial rival Howick. With a new squad and barely any preseason prep, we are very proud of the girls for achieving this result. From our year 13’s, we wish the other girls good luck for their seasons ahead! And we would like to give a huge thank you to our Coach Mr Cook and Manager Mrs Williams for their time and effort put into our team, as well as our awesome parents for helping with transport and refereeing. Special mention and well done to co-captain Sarah Carpenter who is now playing in the Women’s Premier Northern Region Football League.
