Football Match

The school challenged our team to a football match one evening at the beginning of last week. It was us against a mixture of students and staff. We were all very excited, although as the day approached we’d heard numerous stories about how good the students were at football and decided that maybe we needed to recruit some of these students for our side! Not that we had a lack of confidence in our own abilities!

One afternoon on the building site we managed, with the help of another student, to recruit the 3 best footballers (supposedly) in the school.

The match started with the majority of the school standing on one side and supporting their teachers and friends and laughing at us every time we missed the ball or kicked it over the line. English supporters were a little thin on the ground! We managed to score the only goal during the first half of the game!

By the second half the number of supporters on our side had drastically increased, while support for the school was waning a little bit! We scored another goal before the end of the game and won 2-0! (Admittedly it was two of the students who scored both goals!)
