• Football Result

  Fri 24 Oct 2014 Will and Ally in Year 6

  Barley Close played against Christchurch Juniors this Thursday.

   

  Christchurch had an outstanding game and won 5-0.

   

  Eddy had an amazing first half in goal making some awesome saves in very difficult conditions. Christchurch had a very solid defence but BC still managed to squeeze through on a number of occasions. Ali and Zak had the best of the chances but just couldn't finish, the first half ended 3-0.

   

  The second half kicked off and BC played a much stronger half. Ali took a fantastic free kick just glancing off the post. Zak had a number of hard opportunities but he just could get the finishing touch.

   

  For our first game and with a number of Year 4's playing we had a really good game and played very well.

   

  We would like to thank Mr Perry for his coaching support from the sidelines and to friends and family for cheering us on.

   

  The player of the match goes to Ellie for a awesome defensive effort. The team would like to make a special mention to Eddy, Zak and Ali for the performances.
