Sporting Events
It has been a great few weeks of sporting events for Kilmorie this week. We kicked off the week with the girls’ Monday Night Football League and what two fantastic games they were! We kicked off the night with playing against Hasletine. It was a tough match but in the end Kilmorie came through, winning the game 1-0. Following on from that fantastic win, we went on to play an equally difficult Rathfern team. They gave us a really great game but this didn't deter our girls from the fantastic determination that they showed and in the end the girls won the game 3-0.
I (Jane) would like to give a special mention to all our supporters that we had on Monday. I think that's the first match where we have had that much support and encouragement from supporters and it makes such a difference. A special mention has to go out to Aaliyah, thank you for coming to support us. We would gladly have you every week shouting on the side lines for the football team
Tuesday saw the start of our two fantastic Cricket tournaments. These were held at St. Dunston's Jubilee Ground and what tournaments they were! The competitions started with the boys who won every game in their group, apart from one, and coming second in their group. We then went on to try and get a place in the semi-final which we just ended up on missing out by 30 runs. Overall Kilmorie came 5th out of the 18 teams that competed. The boys showed great sportsmanship and maturity throughout the whole tournament. It was an absolute pleasure having you represent Kilmorie. It was even noticed by other coaches how respectful and mature you were throughout the day!!
The boys were a real credit to Kilmorie and such fantastic sports people. A huge well done to them!
Up next was the girls cricket tournament and just like the boys they did very well. We came 6th in the whole competition with some excellent results and some wonderful cricket shown throughout the day, particularly the magnificent catches.
The girls were excellent role models and what impressed most was their guidance to other teams. No matter win or lose the girls played to the best of their abilities and truly are winners in our eyes. Coaches also commented on how the girls were also resilient and respectful to other teams.
All teams done exceptionally well and I am so proud of them and their achievements.
Girls’ football (This week.)
The girls football team played in the St Dunstan's cup this week.
The girls had a great night of football playing against some tough teams. The girls A and B team did so well, showing off their excellent skill, determination and fantastic goal scoring techniques (pretty much all of the B team getting on the score sheet!)
Each and every girl showed great respect and sportsmanship to the other teams no matter if it was a win, lose or draw. It was such a great afternoon/evening of football that we did not want it to end.
The girls finished 3rd and 4th which was such a great achievement. They even came away with a Chelsea football each from the Chelsea development team.
A massive well done to all girls involved!
