Mr Young and I took 14 yr 8/9 girls to play the football semi-final today, we were playing Brislington Enterprise College. We were very unlucky to have some really awful weather, but we got off to a flying start. In the first half Amy Lovell scored an amazing goal with a 20 yard strike from the goal area (Bristol City, watch out!) to take us into the lead, unfortunately we'd lost Danielle Ash as our second striker as she was ill, so Sophie Manning stepped up to mark and also scored, making it 2-0 at the end of half time. In the second half we played ok, made a few mistakes in defence but still managed to keep a clean sheet. Amy Lovell then scored her second goal of the match ensuring a well deserved lead and win, the final score 3-0 to us. This took us through to the final, so with only 5 mins to recover we then had to play Redland Green School, who have won the league for the past two years. This game was superb to watch, even though we won the semi final we looked like a different team. The passing in midfield by Lauren Farquharson, Kayleigh White and Heidi Tanner was excellent. Defence worked endlessly especially Rachel Stenner who was everywhere hassling the other team, she just didn't give up. Courtney Inder, Shannon Carnell and Shannon Tanner also ensured we didn't let Redland get anywhere near Beth Walker our Goal Keeper. In the first half Kelsie Gunstone made a superb run, she took on two players, went straight through them and scored our first goal. The first half finished 1-0 to us, but the team were not happy with this and were hungry for more. In the second half Amy Lovell and Sophie Manning made sure we were not leaving without winning this game and each scored another goal. The game finished 3-0 to us. The girls were fantastic to watch and thoroughly enjoyed taking the trophy and medals for the girls Bristol champions of 2010.  Well done to Amy Lovell who was voted player of the match. So we are now officially the very best at rounders and football, if you see the girls please congratulate them. Mr Young and I are very proud of the girls, they have shown that BLC are back with a vengeance!!!! The Team were:- Amy Lovell - Captain Kelsie Gunstone Kayleigh White Amber Dunster Courtney Morgan Jessii Wood Lauren Farquharson Shannon Tanner Heidi Tanner Sophie Manning Bethany Walker Shannon Carnell Rachel Stenner Courtney Inder Thanks Mrs Healan
