Dartford District Schools FA

Temple Hill v Oakfield

Our girls’ football team took on Oakfield in a friendly on Wednesday 1^st May. They played some great football with fantastic set pieces.

With teams having an even amount of possession it was difficult to make a break. We pushed hard up front and with an opportunity for Jennifer who blasted the ball past their keeper, 1-0 to Temple Hill. We hung on to our lead and with a brilliant save from Evie-May and great defending from Kyla went on to win the match 1-0. Well done girls!

Team: Jennifer, Kyla, Evie-May, Mija, Mia, Shivani, Anvi, Tyra, Andel and Lily

Six girls from Year 4 came together on Friday 7th December for their first ever futsal festival. For four of them it was the first time they had represented the school in football and what an amazing job they all did.

We played five matches in total and although we didn't win any of our games, we had two GREAT results against Joydens Wood (festival winners) and Holy Trinity, drawing both games 1-1 and 0-0 respectively.

Brooke demonstrated some superb defending coupled with Emilija's goalkeeping skills, we are certainly looking at the future of Temple Hill's girls team.

Year 5/6 Girls Futsal Festival - 23.11.18

Starting with our Year 5/6 girls’ football team, Dartford Schools FA Futsal Festivals got underway on Friday 23^rd November. The team were in good shape and looking forward to competing against other Dartford schools.

Eight schools took part which meant the girls played seven matches. Futsal is slightly faster paced than normal football and with matches played as five-a-side, the games were very demanding. We had a mix of results, but did amazingly well finishing 3^rd on the day.

Well done to: Jennifer, Kyla, Evie-May, Minnie, Mija, and Lily. Thank you to Mr Chiarletti for coaching and supporting the girls.

Year 5/6 Girls Annual Tournament - 27.09.18

Some of our girls football team travelled to Princes Park for the Girls Annual Football Tournament on Thursday 27th September. Despite only having had two training sessions, the girls were looking forward to the tournament.

We got off to a great start by taking an early lead in our opening match, a great goal scored by Jennifer. Unfortunately we were unable to hold onto our lead, with our opponents equalizing and then shortly after scoring a second to go on at secure the win.

Our second match again saw us take an early lead with a superb free kick by Jennifer from just in front of the half way line, straight in the top right hand corner! We extended this lead with a goal from Mia and went on to win the game 2-0.

We played some outstanding football and were unlucky not to win our third match, we walked away with a draw. We went on to win our last game 2-0. The girls played extremely well considering they hadn't had much training and finished 2nd in their group.

Well done: Kyla, Jennifer, Evie-May, Mia, Mija, Anvi, Kylie and Lily.

Thank you to Mr and Mrs Pettengale for your support.
