Year 11 Football
The Year 11s played their 2nd round Kent Cup football game on Tuesday 1st October, against Harris Beckenham on their turf. It turned out to be a great team performance as they managed to beat Harris 8-1 (with some of their key players missing from the squad). As the game kicked off, it didn't take long for Bexley Grammar to get on the score sheet, with Will Benedict getting the first goal. Just as we were approaching half-time, Bexley managed to score a second thanks to a header from Zach D-H following after a brilliant cross from Alfred. The team went into half-time with a two-goal advantage over their opponents. During the second half, Bexley Grammar were able to score 6 more goals, with Will Benedict getting four, Maxim Taflaj and Zach D-H getting 2 each. Overall, it was a great performance from the team, despite conceding one goal towards the end of the match, and they would proceed on to the next round.
