Our Under 11 girls also got off to an excellent start in the Surrey Football Cup on Tuesday, facing Royal Russell School in their first-round match. They played some brilliant attacking football, linking up beautifully to create scoring opportunities, while showing strength in defence by chasing back and making key tackles. Annabel G opened the scoring just before half-time, and in the second half, RSM took control of the game. A special mention goes to Sophie M, who scored a superb hat-trick to seal a 4–1 victory. Well done girls — a great team effort!
