On Friday 15th November the girls U13's football team travelled to Worle school for the 3rd round of the ESFA CUP.
The girls have been working extremely hard in training preparing for this exciting fixture.
Hugh Sexey won the coin toss and chose to kick off, playing on a massive 4g pitch which was in Hugh Sexey's favour.
From the first whistle Hugh Sexey's were dominant, playing some great football despite the difficult wind conditions and scoring 4 goals. Some of the goals were absolutely spectacular, particularly Olivia Fuller's 20 yard screamer into the top corner!
As half time approached we were able to make some changes and try out different positions/tactics. All credit to the girls who came off the bench: Jocelyn Rigby, and Bryher Wright; they came on and made an immediate impact - all are fighting for the starting spot next round which is great to see.
Hugh Sexey's won the game by a big margin - all credit to Worle for not giving up and for keeping going.
Player of the match was Olivia Fuller for her dangerous goal scoring ability, with 8 goals to her name so far. A special mention as well for Cerys Webb putting in a good stint in goal, retaining her third clean sheet so far, and Jemima Seagrove who is getting better every game and put in a solid display in midfield.
This was a great start to the U13s campaign. Well done girls - keep up the good work

On Thursday 7th November we took 15 Year 7 boys to Frome College for an Under 11’s Football competition. The boys were split into two teams and played against Oakfield's A and B teams, Selwood and Kilmersdon schools.
Each team played 4 matches, and the points from each match where added together. The winning school at the end of the tournament would be representing Somerset in the Under 11’s National School cup.
The two team captains, Harry and Dillion, organised the teams ensuring every boy knew his position and was able to take part and perform to the best of his ability. The top goal scorers of the day where Liam, Jacob, Archie and Fynn.
The Hugh Sexey B team came 3rd, and the Hugh Sexey A team came 1st. The deciding match was between our A and B teams, and was the most competitive of the afternoon.
Well done to all the players!
Frome College was the venue for the girls under 11s football County qualifiers. We entered two very excited sides and all of the girls got lots of football on what was a bitterly cold and windy afternoon. St Pauls, Selwood and Oakfield also entered teams and the standard was very high and committed throughout.
In our first game we played against each other and an equal game ended in a 0-0 draw with both sides having chances. Lucy did very well in goal in that game and stopped a number of powerful shots at goal. Abbie and her team thought they had snatched victory at the end, when Abbie turned and struck a neat shot into the bottom corner. Unfortunately for one team, but fortunately for the other, the full time whistle had already blown.
For the rest of the competition the girls played continuously in their teams with little rest between games. This was a blessing considering the weather and the girls only got better and better. Evie gave a number of very commanding performances mixing energy and a tenacious attitude with an eye for a pass and a goal. Bonnie and Abbie were prolific throughout with both girls scoring hat tricks in separate games. Bella looked very assured in her first game and her partnership and understanding with Abbie was one of the highlights of the day. Tilly, Daisy, Annabelle, Becca and the two Ruby's also played very well throughout and showed some nice touches. Lucy performed very well in a number of different roles on the pitch. Her dribbling and passing was sharp throughout. It was also a delight to see Alexa and Liberty representing the school and many thanks to Grace who stepped in as a replacement and performed brilliantly.
At the end of the day both sides finished joint third.
All the girls should be immensely proud of their performance. They were a pleasure to take on a fixture.
