Girls Football Last week the U15 girls played their final game of the season against Ryde Academy taking a 6-0 win. The girls were sat at the top of the table with Sandown having just one game left to play. Fortunately for Carisbrooke, Christ the King took a 2-0 win over Sandown leaving Carisbrooke as the winners of the U15 league! Please pass on your congratulations to the girls who have played consistently well all season and are deserved winners: U15 Girls Football Team: Ellie Ansell, Megan Hall, Molly Harris, Beth Harvey, Emma Higgs, Meisha McFarlane, Isobel Outram, Shannon Ross, Georgia Snudden, Bethan Stafford-Bower, Rhianna Vernon, Sasha Wherry and Mia Wragg. On Monday night the U13 girls football team played two games over at Sandown. In their first game against Cowes, the girls worked well as a team moving the ball well and staying disciplined in their positions. It wasn t long before they created space, allowing Molly through on goal to take the girls 1-0 up. Shortly after, Jess managed, to take it past the defender and slotted the ball into the bottom left corner. Cowes pulled one back, and Carisbrooke responded with a second goal from Jess to clinch a 3 1 win. In their second game, Carisbrooke faced a very strong Sandown side. Despite their best efforts, Carisbrooke were trailing 3 0 at the end of the first half. With a quick change of positions the girls went out and played a much better game in the second half. Isobel, Macie and Kayleigh did a remarkable job at the back with Rhiannan making some phenominal saves allowing Carisbrooke to keep a clean sheet in the second half. With a strong defence Carisbrooke were able to go on the attack. Jess went down on the edge of the box but managed to head the ball into the goal on her way down, pulling a goal back for Carisbrooke. The girls were keen to keep moving forward and shortly after Molly scored her second goal of the night taking the final score to 3 2. U13 Girls Football Team: Molly Feltham, Daisy-May Peach, Amy Pavey, Rhiannon Stafford-Bower, Jess Starkey, Isobel Outram, Macie Edkins-Wherry, Carmen Priddle, Sophie Stevens, Kayley Hayward, Beth Taylor, Paige Driscoll, Jess Hunter-Case and Sophie Ford.
