A bright future for girls' football

Our U13A girls football team, made up of Year 7 and 8 pupils, made school history in October after competing in their first ever girls’ football fixture against Tanbridge House School.

Prior to the match, the team had only trained together at two lunch time football sessions. It was fantastic to see the girls pick up the sport with such enthusiasm and most importantly, have fun on the pitch.

“It was an extremely tough game against strong opposition, but the girls played incredibly well and I am immensely proud of their progress. Girl’s football is every Friday lunch time and I would love to see more Year 7 and 8 pupils present for the sessions,” said Miss Rose, teacher of girls’ football.

This is a very exciting time for girls’ football at Claremont and we look forward to plenty more future fixtures in the school calendar.
