Year 9 Football

The Year 9 football team played Park House School in the first round of the West Berkshire League.

The A team played in the first half, which was a highly competitive match with some great football and well worked goals scored by both teams. The score finished 2-2.

In a tense final 10 minutes, Park House scored two outstanding goals to secure the game 4-2.

St Bart’s B Team fought hard and played some superb football despite being defeated 2-0. Mr Wilder said, “I am proud of all the boys today – it took a lot of character to come back from 2-0 to get themselves back in the game. We are really developing as a squad and will be a real threat in the District Cup this season”.
