Yesterday evening, the girls' school football team attempted to continue the positive start they've made to the new football league season.  However, they had the very difficult challenge of playing two consecutive matches against very tough opposition with the venue being Old Silhillians on a very cold night. 

First up was a match against Dicken's Heath which was a very close and tense affair with chances at both ends of the pitch.  A wonderful save by goalkeeper Lana, near the end of the match, helped the team to earn a very credible 0-0 draw.

However, there was no time to rest as their next match against Shirley Heath took place immediately afterwards.  The first match had obviously prepared them well as Greswold raced into a 3-1 half time lead. 

Despite not being able to add to their tally in the second half and having to contend with some pressure from Shirley Heath after they scored, the team ran out eventual winners 3-2.

The successful evening means that Greswold have now won two out of their three games this season and drawn the other, a really pleasing start. 

Next up are two more matches against Knowle and Eversfield on Tuesday 10th December, again at Old Silhillians on the Warwick Road on the way to Knowle centre.  Why not come along and lend your support!
