Year 5 Football Tournament

On Wednesday the Year 5 football team took part in the first round of the annual Year 5 Football Tournament.  There were 4 teams in our round and it was the top 2 teams who qualified.  We started well beating St Columbus, and then went on to beat both Margret Wix and Bowmans Green, which meant we went through to the next round as group winners.

Then on Saturday the boys attended the Tournament Finals at Colney Heath School.  There were 12 teams there, divided up into 2 pools, which meant we had 5 short games to play.   The boys played really well as a team and as we only had 6 players they had to play every game. However, they didn't lose any, drawing 4 and winning the final game.  This earnt them enough points to come second in our group and a play off against Park Street for 3rd and 4th place.   Even though the boys were really tired at this point they continued to battle hard, but even extra time couldn't separate the 2 teams, so it was decided that we would share 3rd place.   A fantastic result for the boys...well done.
Thanks to parents for supporting...we can now look forward to a good season next year.

Looking forward to the tournament

The team with the well deserved trophy
