South Somerset Schools Football Tournament

Huish competed in the South Somerset Schools Football tournament with high hopes after a number of well contested friendly games. They began the group stage with a competitive game against a familiar opponent – Milford. Over the past few years, the two schools have played a number of times and the games have always been close. On this occasion, Huish went 1-0 down early but fought back to draw 1-1. The team went on to dominate the remainder of the group stage winning 5-0, 1-0 and 5-0 again. These results led the team into a semi-final against Holy Trinity which was a tough game, but a late winner from Poppy sealed a 1-0 win. In the final, Milford were the opponents once again and Huish were well up for the game. Despite attack after attack, the Milford goalkeeper made some excellent saves to keep the score at 0-0. It took a cool finish from Luca to put Huish ahead. Seth made an amazing save in the final few minutes to keep the score at 1-0 and when the final whistle went, Huish were victorious! The entire team competed with great skill, teamwork, tenacity and sportsmanship – a credit to the school. As a result of this achievement, the team will now compete in the Somerset schools game in January.
