Camperdown top Excelsior to claim schoolgirls’ football title

Camperdown High broke Excelsior High’s monopoly on the ISSA schoolgirls’ football competition after beating the nine-time defending champions 3-0 on penalties in the final at Wolmer’s Girls yesterday. Camperdown’s impressive goalkeeper and captain Italya Robinson was the outstanding player for the winners. She scored the first spot kick and saved two penalties in the shootout to deny Excelsior a 10th straight hold on the title. “I am the number one penalty taker. I can kick and I can save as well. It’s my favourite part of the game,” Robinson said afterwards.
