Each of you have played a vital role in achieving this success and well done for keeping your composure in such a tense league-deciding final game!

On Monday 12th February, a group of Year 3 & 4 girls took a trip over to Stanton School. For some of the girls this was their first football match ever, it was great to see so many smiles on faces and it was clear the team really enjoyed themselves - despite all of the mud! They came away with 2 very convincing wins, whilst also showing a huge level of sportsmanship and respect for their opponents. Well done!

On Tuesday 27th February a group of Year 3 Girls travelled to Bushfield School for a small tournament with 2 other schools. All of the girls were so excited to play, and for some of them this was their opportunity at playing their first ever competitive football matches. The girls really did us proud, well done on your performances and display of teamwork. Thank you to all the parents for their support and creating such a fun atmosphere.

On Friday 8th March 2024, the Biggest Ever Football Session returned and what an incredible way to celebrate International Women’s Day at Two Mile Ash School! The aim was to get as many girls as possible, all playing football on the same day. During lunchtime, we ran a girls only football festival where any girls could come to the playground and enjoy playing. We had a tremendous turn out, with over 100 girls taking up the opportunity to play.
