Cheering the Team On All The Way
The ISFA Team— Back Row L - R: Reuben Horsfield, Reuben Apena - Rogers, Aiden Smith, Mylo Bernard, Hal Uppington, Krish Thapar, Alex Bond, Dylan Healy. Front Row L - R: Kwame Appau Twumasi, Jonny Beacon, Arun Slater, Caspian Holmes, Rufus Basham - Rolfe. Mylo Bernard (Y8) describes an extremely successful football season for Year 8, with many teams from A to F representing the College. In the 2022/23 season the A team won 10 out of 12 games, getting to the final of the ISFA national tournament in which they unluckily lost 3 - 2. Over the tournament they showed grit and determination to come from 2 - 0 down at half - time to win 3 - 2 in the semi - final and to win their first game 3 - 2. They showed a love of scoring, winning their quarter - final and last 16, 6 - 1 and 5 - 0 respectively, scoring a total of 17 goals on route to the final. In the final though they fell short. Although going 2 - 0 up in seven minutes, a missed penalty by Dulwich ’ s captain led to a fight back from the other school, Aldenham and they got one back before half - time. In the second half again, Dulwich didn ’ t play well and Aldenham kept attacking; there was some valiant defending but 2 quick goals to make it 3 - 2 nearly killed it. Dulwich persevered on though but some dark arts from the opposing team led to Dulwich not being able to create any more chances. It was a great day and although the team lost, it was still a great achievement. There was an incredible crowd, and they cheered the team on all the way. Other teams for DC had great season with the B ’ s playing 6 and losing none and the E team playing 7 and losing 1; the F team managed to get a few games and not losing one. I hope everyone got to enjoy themselves in this Football season from development to A team and got to represent the school in in - house competitions or in Saturday matches.
