GLORY GIRLS

Bolton St Catherine’s Academy girls’ football team were victorious and triumphant and won the Caldwell cup.

On Thursday 22nd October, six girls were  selected to represent Bolton St Catherine’s Academy Primary site against other Bolton Primary Schools.

Amongst those competing for glory were Blackshaw Primary School. Bolton St Catherine’s girls gave them a real run for their money and secured an 8-1 victory.

The girls; Bianca, Courtney, Katie, Tandy, Rebekka and Maya each scored at least one goal each and only let one goal through from the opposition.

Mr Watson, who took the girls to the competition commented on the excellent team work the girls showed and the amazing sportsmanship displayed at the end of the match. Every member of the team went up to the opposition to shake their hands.

At the end of the game medals were given out and Bolton St Catherine’s Academy won it’s first ever trophy. The cup is called the Caldwell cup, named after the Head teacher of Top o’ th’ Brow Primary School, who is now a Vice Principal within the Academy.

Mr Watson said, “We are really proud of our girls winning this trophy. You can see it for yourself in the entrance of school in our brand new trophy cabinet”.

We interviewed Bianca and asked her what she thought of the way the other team performed. She said, “They played really well, but not as good as we did!”.

Well done to the girls’ football team - keep up the good work and good luck for the rest of the season.
