Year 6 Football Tournament

On Saturday the Year 6 Football team took part in the finals of the Year 6 Football Tournament.  During the group stage the boys had to play 5  short games of 10 minutes.  The first game was against Garden Fields and ended in a draw, then the boys began to grow in confidence and started to play great attacking football. We won the next 2 games and drew against Skyswood, our closest rivals.
 It all came down the the last game, where either team could go through as group winners. We needed a win to go through as  winners or a draw to go through as runners up.  It was a very exciting game with chances at both ends, but we scored 2 lovely goals which took us to the finals to meet our old rivals Fleetville.
We knew it would be a tough game, but the boys were determined not to let Fleetville dominate.  It was a fantastic game with both teams working hard. We did have chances on goal but nothing would go in. Jack also made a few great saves.  At the end of full time it was still 0-0, so it went to extra time.  After 6 nail biting minutes neither team scored.  It was declared a draw and both teams shared  1st place.
What a brilliant end to the season.  I am really proud of the boys and their achievements this year and they should be too.  I hope they go on to enjoy their football in their new schools or clubs.
Thank you to all the parents for helping with lifts and supporting at the games.
