St Michael’s Catholic School 3 – 4 Harefield Academy

Congratulations to the Year 9 Boys’ football team negotiating a tricky 2^nd round game. The boys didn’t have a great start conceding a goal in the 2^nd minute, but they stuck to the game plan by keeping the ball on the floor and using their speed and agility against a bigger and stronger team. With 2 first half goals by Charlie Davies and Marshall Francis the boys where worthy of their 2-1 lead at half time.

The 2^nd half started off similarly to the 1^st half with the boys conceding another early goal. But again they stuck to the plan and again regained the lead by scoring  another 2 goals. With Marshall Francis scoring his 2^nd goal of the game and Chase Lecky striking a sweet shot into the top corner making the score 4-2.

With the light fading and only minutes to play, St Michael’s scored to make it 4-3. They boys put in an excellent effort closing out the game to secure passage through to the 3^rd round to play Salesian School in Surrey.  

NOTE: The  next round of the ESFA Cup for the Year 9 team (away to Salesian School in Surrey) is scheduled to be played week beginning 11 November. Once the date is confirmed it will be published.
