Our first game was against the host school Springwell, and we got off to a fast start with Santi running down the wing past their defences to score the opening try. Billy was distributing the ball well throughout as well as...

A few weeks ago, the ISL Girls Varsity Football Team flew to sunny Barcelona for a 3-day international tournament at the European School. There were 10 teams from across Europe and spirits were high from some good results on home soil, and anticipation for our first international tournament in 3 years was high.

We certainly weren’t handed any favours when the groups were announced as we had the 2 pre-tournament favourites in our group. One of these, Oerais International School of Lisbon was our first opponent. In the first half, we combatted their guile and...
