Football Tournament

Thursday 3rd November  saw our football team play in the Small School's football tournament at The King's School Playing fields.
The weather was cold but dry and 10 children were excited to play, 1 was rather disappointed that their arm was still in plaster so came along to support, coach and encourage from the sidelines!

Looking forward to our league matches

first we played Barkston( last years winners) and didn't enjoy the best start-6- 0 down at half time! 

After half time we regrouped and it was damage limitation- we succeeded and the final result was still  a 6- 0 defeat

Next we played Denton and drew 1-1

We had a much better game and played well together.

South Witham were our 3rd opponents and we played well again

 and celebrated our goal when it finally came

 we tried again


they scored and we unfortunately lost 2-1


Next we played Great Ponton, we enjoyed an easier match with much of the possession in their goal area.

 look out!


                                                           another goal
 a corner resulted in another goal and a 4- 1 win.



Team talk time- we finished 3rd in our league and were to play Corby Glen for 5th/ 6th place.
We lost 2-1 so finished 6th out of 11 schools. A pleasing result  after great team work, support from parents and tremendous effort from everyone. Well done.
