Girls' Football Team makes a great start

Yesterday saw a first for Highnam Academy. This year Mrs Townsend has been training a girls' football team. For the past month about sixteen girls have been working hard in training to prepare for the GSPFA Girls' League. In a tough first fixture Highnam had to play Longlevens away.

The first minute saw a break away by Ella and a great goal - a perfect start. Afterwards goals from Amy, Izzy and Kelsey saw Highnam take a 4 goal lead. In the last few minutes Longlevens pulled a goal back but the final result was a 4-1 victory to Highnam.

Thank you to all the parents for their great support, to Mrs Townsend for training the team and finally to the girls for their hard work and teamwork.
