On Thursday the 23rd of June, the Old School teachers played the beautiful game of football against the New School kids.
The game was held at Parrs Wood High School and the weather conditions were just perfect, just the right amount of water on the pitch and the sun blazing on our backs while everyone warmed up.
The teachers were ready to go and had their team fixtures in. Ten solid players to take on the mighty 12 Old Moat Jrs players.
The game did not go the way Old Moat Jrs wanted it go, with Mr.Kerr putting the first goal away. Trevor brought it back with two amazing goals, making it 2:1. Mr.Ali had a dig from the half way line and buried it in the back of the net, Ms. Hunt confusing Shahbaz by getting in the way of line of fire.
Mr.Kerr took the whole defense coming in off the right wing and scoring another, making it 3:2. Ms.Horrabin breaking the defense by moving into space and allowing Mr.Kerr to drive the ball in.
Old Moat Jrs did not know what had hit them, they stepped their game up and took control of the game, using all their players and playing some perfect one-twos between Rasan, Paige and Trevor.
Ms.Julia made it 4:2, and then Andy went for the goal of the game making it 5:2, and wow what a goal it was. The ball was struck from outside the box, straight into the top left corner.
Ms.Devlin made some Ronaldo style runs on the left wing.
Mr.Ali wiped in the ball from the corner post, Mr.Kerr losing his man and got in front of the ball making it 6:2.
Old Moat Jrs had no way back, but they still played as a team and went for goal every time. Trevor and Rasan were testing Raj, the teacher’s goal keeper. Testing him to his limits, but Mr. Jackson made sure that his defense were tight and worked as one unit. Rasan’s move which he kept pulling by flicking the ball up in the air, made it difficult for the teachers to handle.
Last few minutes of the game, Teachers have a corner. Mr.Kerr whipped it in, just the right height for Mr.Ali to get his head on the back of it. This made it 7:2. GAME OVER!
Well done to all the children who played, you all done the school proud and you played like world class super stars. Good effort Old Moat Jr. You tested all the teachers to their limits.
