Thomas Clarkson Academy’s Year 8 girls football team put in a fantastic performance and achieved second place in the district tournament on May 1st.

The team travelled to Witchford for the last of the cluster tournaments with the schools from the Isle of Ely where they played extremely well and came away undefeated.

After the tournament the girls were drawing with Neale Wade in first place, with both schools not losing a match. Unfortunately, Neale Wade scored 3 more goals over the course of the tournament and won, with TCA coming second.

PE teacher Amy Anderson said: “We saw fantastic performances from all girls, lead very ably by captain Libby Albutt. Rachael Stimpson and Klaudia Gnitecka scored some very good goals, along with Chloe Clifford and Megan Sheldon.

“Anna Ivaskevica saved some very good shots on goal from the Neale Wade girls and Weronika Czechowska placed extremely well throughout the tournament and had a ‘never-give-up’ attitude, which was brilliant to see.

I look forward to next season’s football tournaments and to taking that first tournament win for the year 8 football team!”
