Year 5 & 6 Girls Football
We had a fantastic day at Bottesford FC where we came together with Redmile to field a Y5 and a Y6 team. The competition format involved all 8 teams playing each other which meant lots of match-play opportunities. The Y5s competed exceptionally well, and achieved their aims of developing their understanding of the game, being brave with and without the ball, and encouraging each other throughout. Their hard work and positive attitudes were rewarded with two wins. The Y6s were set with the challenge of competing in every match and started with a dominating victory over Ab-Kettleby (5.0). Further wins followed against Old Dalby (3.0), Great Dalby (3.0), Brownlow (1.0), and the Y5s (4.0). Next was a brilliant test of character and team work as the girls came from 1.0 down to pick up another victory against St Francis (2.1) which sent them top of the table going into the last match against Bottesford. With both teams undefeated it made for a very competitive contest but it was Bottesford who came away with the win (0.2). The Y6s can be very proud of their efforts and qualified for another shot at the small schools county finals on 13th November. Well done to all involved.
