On Monday night, the chantry Year 7 and 8 girls’ team participated in a football tournament. The team played three games against Newminster Middle School, Ponteland and Richard Coates.

For the first game they played very well but sadly Richard Coates got an early goal. However, Chantry’s defence and midfield made sure they didn’t get past again.

In the next game, Chantry played their rivals, Newminster! In the first half, Chantry were holding up well getting a lot of shots in and putting the Newminster goal keeper under a lot of pressure. In the second half, they played great, tackling every attacker and doing good strong passes up the pitch.

In the final game, Chantry didn’t let any attackers get a shot on goal and well deservedly got two fantastic goals! The team deserved a win and showed great resilience. They will hopefully be playing like this in the next game in a few weeks.
