Primary Girls Football

This week the Girls Primary Football Team travelled to Brighton College for a tournament with Al Ain Academy and Brighton College.

The first game against Al Ain Academy saw AAESS off to a nervous start and were soon down by 1 goal. The girls eventually found their momentum and stretched the goalkeeper a couple times but ultimately the game ended 1-0 to Al Ain Academy.IMG_2944

The second game started a lot better with the momentum from the first game carrying through and with the girls a lot more confident. With play going from end to end some excellent defending was needed from our back 3 to prevent Brighton College from scoring. In later end of the game, with a fast break from our own half, Yara El Baitam was 1 on 1 with the keeper and was able to use her skills to outwit the goalkeeper and score. The game ended 1-0 to AAESS.
