1st XI vs St George’s Weybridge

Despite the scoreboard remaining untouched, Team Notre Dame delivered a performance full of intensity, precision, and relentless pressure in their latest fixture against St George’s. From the first whistle, ND dominated possession and peppered the opposition’s goal with a barrage of shots, even striking the post. Their attacking intent and tactical discipline were clear throughout, with the forwards creating numerous scoring opportunities through slick passing combinations and aggressive forechecking.

In a hard-fought 0–0 draw, the opposition’s goalkeeper stood out with a series of incredible saves, denying ND at every turn. Yet, it was Notre Dame’s own defensive strength that truly shone. Their composure and resilience under pressure ensured a clean sheet, proving their ability to hold firm against a very attacking side.

The team’s cohesion and energy were evident across all areas of the pitch, and while the result didn’t reflect the dominance shown, ND will take plenty of positives from the performance as they prepare for their next challenge.
