On Thursday 21st May, the Year 8 Girls Football team played at the BBAFC Club at Lloyd Elsmore. Students got to play 11-a-side on the full football fields. The students played 5 games; they lost 1, drew 1, and won 3, which placed them 7th out of 11 schools. It was a great day with lots of sportsmanship being displayed. Thank you to the whānau who came to help and support the team.
