A tough start but positive learning experience for the boys' football team
Up against two exceptional teams, the boys' school football team endured a tough start to the new league season.
Pitted against Tidbury Green and Our Lady of the Wayside, the players had to to spend prolonged periods of time defending as a team. However, their battling qualities along with the fact they constantly demonstrated our Greswold values particularly in the second game, meant there was still a lot to be very proud of.
After losing the first match 3-0 to Tidbury Green, the team were 3-0 down at half time to an impressive Our Lady of the Wayside team in their second game. However, the players were challenged to not give up, to work for each other and to show the qualities that makes a Greswold pupil in the second half. Subsequently, the second half was a really pleasing performance with the team nearly pulling the goal back and the score remaining the same until the final whistle.
Mr Hornsey was very proud of the team and reminded the players that they learn more about themselves in defeat than in victory. Onto the next match next month against Valley Primary at Old Silhillians on the 4th February.
