Some great performance also by Khalid Abdirehman and Migle Berankyte finishing in the top 15, also Emelia Kudhail and Angela Khan placing in the top 20.

Y8 Football Match Heston V Reach

The Year 8 boys’ football team had an outstanding game against Reach Academy winning 5 goals to 2. Heston dominated the game with good possession of the ball in the midfield and numerous attacks on goals. If the team was better at finishing their chances there could easily have been more goals for Heston.

Heston defence was good, Oliver Kuter and Enver Daci linked up well in as central defenders reading the game well to stop a number of chances. The two goals from Reach came as a result of a couple of lapses in concentration. Reach were quick to pounce on these chances and scored two goals. Andrei Mirea [8Y]
