The first match for the Year 8 team against Whittington Green School saw a scrambled team, due to absence put players out of position and left the boys trying to find their stride. Whittington Green scored a couple of early goals whilst the Parkside team were trying to settle their nerves and fill their role. A reshuffle in positions, moved and Alfie R to goal and Lee S to midfield, this kept Whittington Gren from scoring whilst Parkside launched a series of attacks. A lovely chip by McKenzie R over their last line of defence, saw striker Will S take a lovely touch, and followed up with a powerful strike, the ball rattled the right hand post but the rebound couldn’t be followed up.
