The new Year 3 and 4 football team had a fantastic day at the tournament at Woolenwick School and should be proud of the amount of passion displayed on the pitch. The children showed great enthusiasm from the very first whistle to the last. Out of the four games played, the team won one, drew two and only lost one match, which was a fantastic achievement against some strong, established competition. 

As the tournament went on, the children grew more confident and worked really well together as a team. There was lots of encouragement on and off the pitch and it was lovely to see the players supporting one another and never giving up, even during difficult and frustrating moments in the games. 

A huge well done goes to our two ‘Players of the Match’, Chloe and Freddie. Freddie stood out for his positive attitude and excellent communication throughout the tournament, constantly encouraging his teammates and helping to keep spirits high. Chloe was exceptional in goal, making some brilliant saves and showed great bravery, teamwork and focus under pressure. 

We would also like to give a big shout out to Blaise for coming along to help coach and prepare the children for the tournament. The support, encouragement and time given to the team was greatly appreciated and helped the children feel confident and ready for the matches.
