The new look team of George C, Daniel F, Luke W, Alex D, William H, Callum D, Guy G, Eli S, Ted R and Bradley W proudly wore the new school team kit as they won the Small Schools Level 2 football Tournament at Stanley Park in November. They now go on to compete in the play-offs hoping for a chance to compete at the Level 3 County Finals 2018.
Callum from Year 6 added, “We train every Thursday and work to be the best we can be. Some of our team play football outside of school but we have all benefited from the extra coaching. We really enjoyed the experience and it was fantastic to be winners and felt proud to represent our school.”
