amazing balls of energy .

U17 Girls

These girls became infamous for their ability to rock up for a match without attending any training sessions and still pulling off a comfortable win . In the preliminary stages , the team played five matches and won all of them by a comfortable margin . They then went into the finals against Rusinga School . Unfortunately , this was not going to be an easy achievement as Rusinga School came back with all the arsenal from their holsters , firing them left right and centre . With an early goal , Rusinga were able to keep us at bay despite all our attempts which were numerous . There was such concerted and laudable effort from the Captains Anushka Madan-Handa , Noa Ohana and Ivy Gitonga . They were an indefatigable trio and held their own against Rusinga School . Suraya Charters , Joanna Dyer , Megan Taljaard , Acacia Mathews , Vie Bierens , Kaitlyn Harris and Amani Gardner were there to ensure that none of the opponents passed through our defence or had any contact with our hardworking goalkeeper Lyanca Ellis . The defenders largely achieved the objective of the day and were just unfortunate to concede the solitary goal that sealed their fate , their second of the season as well . Ivy Gitonga and Noa Ohana worked tirelessly like a well-oiled machine in the midfield . The forward line
made up of Diana Vargas , Nicole Terblans , who was also the teams ’ top scorer with 8 goals and our never tiring Anushka Madan-Handa who was always handy to act like a centre forward and a link between the forward line and the midfield was unrelenting . Well done girls !
