Girls Football Norwood 1 St. Philips 7 The first match for the girls team since September was a very difficult one against a team from St. Philips, who play regularly in their school team. despite that our team battled really hard with some excellent defending by Ruby Fellowes, Bethany Hefferan and Lauren Morgan, but it will be Ashleigh Thomas's goal in the last minute that will be remembered for her determination, tough tackling and celebration. All the girls enjoyed themselves and performed very well. Star Player: Ashleigh Thomas Team: Ashleigh Thomas (capt.), Emily Telford, Errin Telford, Abbie Wilson, Ruby Fellowes, Caitlin Healy, Elise Bond, Amie Blundell, Abi Wright, Ria Milford, Anya Day, Lauren Morgan, Aimee Crawford, Bethany Hefferan, Libby Spencer and Natasha Leadbetter.
