Football Round Up

As the Football season draws to a close we are pleased to report that HGS  secured 4 Aston Cup Final places for our teams. Unfortunately our Year 10 team narrowly lost in their Semi Final match. The Year 7, 8 and 11 teams lost hard fought games in their Finals fixtures and the Year 9 team made it through to the Super Cup Final against Arthur Terry School at Bodymoor Heath. The team played extremely well and took an early lead via a set piece corner. At half time it was 1 goal apiece but HGS struck early in the second half to regain the lead. By the end of full time it was 3 – 3 and both teams played with grit and determination. After extra time it was still 3 – 3 so we moved to a penalty shoot-out. Eventually HGS lost 4 – 3 on penalties which is always a particularly cruel way to lose a match. It was an exciting and enjoyable game though and the team did themselves proud and were unlucky to lose the cup.

HGS teams have enjoyed success in recent League matches as follows:

The Year 7 team beat George Dixon 5 – 4.

The Year 8 team beat Arena Academy 12 – 1.

The Year 9 team beat Hamstead Hall 6 – 2 and George Dixon 6 – 3.

Congratulations to all the teams and coaches.
