Today marked the first official game on our new astroturf as the Year 9 boys' football team faced Biddulph.

Unfortunately, terrible weather, with heavy rain and strong winds, disrupted our play, preventing us from finding our usual attacking rhythm. Biddulph capitalised on our uncertainty, racing to a 4-0 lead by half time.

The weather improved in the second half, and so did our performance, we conceded two more goals. We had chances and could easily have scored three, but it just wasn’t our day.

On the bright side, the new pitch was fantastic, and we’re fortunate to have it!
