Semi-Final Bound!

We are incredibly proud of our girls’ football team! After a fantastic group stage, winning all four games, they faced a tough Uplands Primary School side in the quarter-finals.

Elston battled hard in the first half, creating plenty of chances but unable to find that clinical edge, going into half-time at 0–0.

After the break, Elston came out flying and continued to create opportunities on goal. However, the Uplands goalkeeper made a series of outstanding saves to keep the score level. With around 10 minutes remaining, Alba picked up the ball near the halfway line, drove through the Uplands defence, rounded the keeper, and calmly finished into the back of the net—1–0 to Elston!

Elston’s defence and goalkeeper were tested in the closing stages, but they stood strong, working together brilliantly to secure their place in the semi-finals.

We are so proud of this team. They consistently demonstrate our school values—excellent sportsmanship, resilience in challenging moments, and outstanding teamwork. A truly talented group, and no matter what happens next, we couldn’t be prouder.

Well done all—what a team! 💚
