On Friday 2nd May, Almond Hill played in the Schools Cup semi-final against Walkern. Winning this game would mean we had another final to play for. So, it was of course an amazing feeling when the whistle blew and we took the win 4-1. We do not know yet who we are playing in the final but it is guaranteed we will fight for the win as always!  

On Tuesday 6th May, the Year 6 boys, along with their parents, Miss Simmons and Miss Harris, travelled to St Albans for the Wix Centenary Shield Tournament. We had been invited to represent Stevenage and would be up against the top teams in other leagues from nearby towns, Hatfield, St Albans, Hitchin, etc. The tournament really was a show of talent with only the 'best of the best' teams invited so we went along knowing it would be tough. However, the boys worked their socks off and played some of the best football we’ve seen this season. The team effort and work rate was phenomenal. They won all 3 of their group games which earned them a spot in the final. This was against Garden Fields school from St Albans. An incredibly strong team who we also have to play against in the Wix Cup Final soon! The match was really tight and could have gone either way as both teams played exceptionally well. The whistle blew for full time with 1:1 on the scorecard. This meant that penalties would decide the victors! Some brave boys stepped forward to take these yet sadly, it wasn't our day and Garden Fields came out on top. The boys shook hands and lifted their heads high as they accepted their finalists' medals knowing that the Wix Cup final was approaching and that would be our chance to get the silverware! An amazing day which ended with a McDonalds on the way home to celebrate the team's success - massive congratulations everyone!
