On Wednesday the first ever Our Lady of Hartley Girls Football Team played in a friendly match against Hartley Academy. The result might not have gone our way but the team should be extremely proud of the way that the conducted themselves on the pitch. They showed great determination, effort and resilience. They will also go down in history as the first ever Our Lady of Hartley Girls Football Team!
