Bridge Trust Society Football Fixture

The HGS Sixth Form team suffered a narrow 4-3 defeat to their more experienced opponents from the HGS Old Boys’ Football Club on Friday 29 April.

The match was held at the HGS Old Boys’ Romilly Avenue headquarters, which will soon have a brand new pavilion and changing facility, to add to the excellent playing facilities.

The game was played in a terrific spirit as the students took an early 2-0 lead with goals from Fahim Ahmed and Sonjeet Paul. Yet, constant pressure from the Old Boys’ eventually resulted in a defeat, despite a third goal from Shuja Mehmood. The student team were assisted by Mr Conway, playing in the middle of defence alongside Amrit Sandhu, and ably supported by the energetic Pavandeep Marva in goal who made a number of fine saves.

The boys very much enjoyed the post- match hospitality and hopefully some of the student team will go on to play for the Old Boys’ in the near future.

Thanks to Society President, Ashley Winters for organising what we hope will be an annual fixture, and we hope to see some of the HGS student team going on to be playing and non-playing members of the Society for many years to come.
