October – Y5/6 Girls’ Football Cup Quarter Final
Brayton 1 – 2 Barkston Ash
The girls produced a brilliant display to beat a very good Brayton team and qualify for the semi-finals of the Selby district girls’ cup. Excellent defending by the whole team kept the Brayton attack from the Barkston goal and Honor gave Barkston the lead in bizarre fashion! A clearance from the Brayton defender was blocked by Honor and the ball looped over the goalkeeper. Brayton attacked with renewed vigour in the second half but Paige made an excellent save and strong defending from Martha and Caoimhe kept the score at 1-0. A second goal followed on the break when a long ball forward by Ella went past the goalkeeper for Honor to net her 7th goal of the season. Brayton got a deserved goal back in the closing minutes but the midfield trio of Eva, Ella and Izzy were working hard and battling well to ensure the score stayed 2-1. Well done to the whole team for an amazing performance. Everyone gave 100% effort and the team were proud but exhausted at the final whistle. Player of the match was Ruby for a brilliant performance in defence.
