St Philip's Football. A well-earned draw

Last night, in the rain, St Philip's travelled to the Monkton Prep school playing fields to play against Combe Down.  The away team began brightly: scoring in the first few minutes through Josh.

Throughout the match  the rain continued to pour down, but the sodden bedraggled spectators were not disappointed.  St Philip's largely dominated the first three quarters and were unfortunate to only lead by one, with excellent link up play being a feature of the game.

In the final quarter, Combe Down scrambled an equaliser, but not before a memorable last-ditch clearance from Sidney when a Combe Down goal seemed inevitable! "I just acted on instinct," he later commented.

By the end, the team took a well-earned draw and all were happy despite the unrelenting rain!

Final score: Combe Down 1 St Philip's 1
