- Take a look at Mr Bains' blog post for this week below. Have a wonderful weekend.17 Jan
- Our U13 Girls' Football Team have had a busy week this week, playing three fixtures yesterday. Assistant Coach, Amelia, shares this report: "Today (16/01/25) the Medina U13 Girls' Football Team had three separate fixtures against Ryde School, Cowes Enterprise College and Christ the King College. The first match was played against Ryde and was a tough game, but the girls tried their hardest and in the end it was a draw, 0-0. The second match was played against Christ the King which was a solid game where the girls got a little bit more into it. Even though they conceded one goal, meaning the final score was 1-0 to Christ the King, the girls didn't let it affect their morale. The final game ended 1-0 to Cowes, but all of the girls played absolutely amazingly and they all worked incredibly hard as a team. Overall, the scores were a result of the girls playing against some very strong sides but they put a great effort in." We are very proud of them all. Well done!17 Jan
