WINNERS! Our Year 6 boys football team were excellent role models in the Marches football tournament over in Shrewsbury on Monday. The tournament was made up of 6 teams and our team were absolutely fantastic! The boys started off strong, winning their first match 11-0 with goals from Selwyn (4), Charlie (1), Elliott A (2), Kaya, (1), Jenson (1) and Zayn (2). The 2nd match was a more difficult test and our defence Adrians and Tyler did a super job to stop us conceding any goals. With the majority of our efforts on target, we were sad to only be drawing 0-0 after some fantastic saves from their keeper. This still put us top of our group on goal difference!
In the first of the knock out rounds, we won 2-0, with goals from Elliott A and Zayn. Jenson and Ollie did a brilliant job defending our goal to continue our aim of not conceding for the tournament. Our final match saw us against a team who had already knocked another group out on penalties. Our boys had plenty of efforts on target and were unlucky not to find the net. After a tense few minutes, the final score, 0-0. Leading to the dreaded penalties… 3 of our bravest boys stepped up to the spot. Rylan made an outstanding save to keep us in it, Elliott A slotted his penalty in to the bottom left corner and Selwyn sealed the deal for us with a top effort straight down the middle! A trophy brought home and a medal for all the boys! A fantastic day out and a well-deserved win!
