Over the past few days Girl’s football at Simon Balle has once again displayed its strength in depth with the U13 and U14 girls progressing to the next stage of their respective County cup competitions.

Today the U13 girls played Marlborough school and what a game they all had. Within the first couple of minutes the girls were 2-0 up with goals from Tor and Dani Hill. After that Tor Hill led from the front scoring an impressive 5 goals with Simon Balle running out 10-0 winners. This puts the girls into the last 4 of the County cup another great achievement. Well done to all the girls involved.

On Thursday the year 9 girls (current county champions) played Parmiters and without star player Flo Fyffe they romped home to a 7-o win with 5 goals from the phenomenal Abbey Bensted, surely a star of the future and a fantastic leader who leads by example. Chloe Ring also scored along with Eliza Weekes’ diving header. The girls are now into the quarter final stage.
