GIS Girls VS St Andrews: 0 - 1<br />

The game was played on March 20.<br />

It was an unfortunate loss for GIS. St<br />

Andrews scored in the first half<br />

following a wonderful pass to create a<br />

goal-scoring chance, which was taken.<br />

Saint Andrews received one penalty<br />

but didn’t score from it. Both teams did<br />

very well and worked very hard all<br />

around the field, as busy as beavers.<br />

Both teams also did well on<br />

collaborating with their team mates.<br />

Even though GIS lost to St Andrews<br />

winning isn’t everything, but the hopes<br />

and determination to win is, because if<br />

you learn from a loss you haven’t lost at<br />

all.<br />

GIS Boys VS Saint Andrews: 3-0<br />

The game was played on March 20. The boys<br />

had a great game, retaining possession of the<br />

ball during most of the game.<br />

GIS had a penalty at the start of the game<br />

because St Andrews’ goalie tripped Kew after<br />

he had made a fantastic run on the goal.<br />

However, Prem (team captain) unfortunately<br />

missed the penalty.<br />

Even so, he bounced back and made a goal for<br />

GIS in the second half. Prem threw the ball to<br />

Kew and then he slotted it into the back of the net - with their team work they made a 1-0<br />

goal for GIS. Substitute Oliver followed Kew’s goal with a skillful shot from the outside of<br />

his boots, assisted by Mark from Year 7.<br />

The other goal by Oliver was a header, following a perfect cross from Ying, which led GIS<br />

to a great 3-0 victory. Karan from Year 8, our substitute goalie, replaced Jignil because<br />

Jignil was out with a cracked finger. He was exceptional. He made several important<br />

saves, including one that prevented an early goal in the first half. He also went 1 on 1 with<br />

a St Andrews’ striker and timed his challenge perfectly and saved what would have been a<br />

certain goal. The overall performance was great, thanks to coach Carson.
