Last night, the girls' football season kicked off at Solihull Moors with a match against Monkspath school as part of the South Solihull Large Schools' girls' league 

Under the floodlights, girls from years' 5 and 6 represented the school perfectly with a display which epitomised Greswold's school values. 

Even before the match had started, one of Greswold’s players, Jess, who had turned up early, volunteered to play for a different school who hadn’t got enough players, a gesture really appreciated by the parents, in particular, from Our Lady of Compassion school.

Following that, a hard fought contest commenced between Greswold and Monkspath, scrappy at first but full of determination from both teams.  Mounting pressure from Greswold resulted in a two goal half time lead, courtesy of Ellie and Hooriyah.

The second half continued in a similar vein with Ellie, adding a brace of goals, giving her an impressive hat-trick and Greswold a deserved 4-0 win.

Hand shakes and three cheers at the end of the match by both teams reflected the really good spirit of the match.

It's now onto Tuesday where the girls have another match against Sharman's Cross at Old Silhillians at 4pm.  Why not come along and lend your support.
