Today a squad of 18 St Joseph girls travelled all the way to Bridgwater College to compete in the ESFA Regional competition. The St Joseph's squad  of 18 were split into two equally sized teams of 9 and were pitted against representations from 14 other schools from around the area. There were four pools and the winners of each pool progressed to the semi finals and then possibly the final!

Both our St Joseph's teams were just amazing with many of the girls a year or two under age and playing against much older children! After some tough competition one of our teams finished an incredible second place in their pool with the other team managing to secure victory and move to a place in the semi finals! There were some great wins against Eastover, Willowdown, Otterhampton as well as draws against BCA and a second Eastover team!

In the semi final the girls put up a spirited display losing  to an extremely strong St Joseph's team from Bridgwater who went on to win the overall competition! This meant a third place play off for our girls who secured a 0-0 draw against North Petherton leaving us with a third place medal overall!

Highlights of the day have to be seeing the girls play with such spirit, passion and determination. There was also a rather impressive hat trick from Emily in one of the games as well as some brilliant saves from both Daisy and Amelia. Unfortunately there are too many individual triumphs for me to write about; there was some great goal scoring on display, some magnificent passing between players and some brave tacking! 

AMAZING EFFORT GIRLS - I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL OUR NEXT COMPETITION!!!!!!
