On the 11th March 08, the Firs school played against Alford (Abbey gate) school away, in a competitive match.

We played 2 periods of 15 minutes. In the first period Alford scored a goal, but we did not let that make us feel down we carried till half time.

In the second period we still carried on and we equalised against them. That really did get are hopes up more. The goal was scored by Michael Pino. We carried on fighting, until Alford crept a goal in to make it 2-1. We still gave it are all right to the end. We still had some very close chances but unfortunately none of them went in.
