In the space of five minutes Christleton’s girls hit the bar three times, but Lymm goalkeeper, Ella Oldland, heroically managed to keep the ball out of the Lymm net - sealing the win and the trophy. Applauded by PE staff from Lymm High School, the girls took time out to walk across to their tearful defeated semi-final opponents from Christleton, to put consoling arms around their rivals. Jennifer Ball, Teacher of PE at Lymm High School, was delighted with the girl’s victory, “It was a fantastic game, played in a good atmosphere. The standard of our girl’s football is getting better and better every year and our girls have demonstrated some fantastic football throughout the competition,” she said. Both sides received medals after the game in recognition of their fantastic achievements in the 2018/19 Girls Cup, and Lymm High School lifted the trophy to great applause around the ground.
