Last Friday, I had the treat of accompanying 9 of the children to Horsham to compete in a big football tournament. For over half of them it was there first ever experience playing matches against other teams but the excitement hid any nerves.

Football tournaments are some of my favourite memories and I’m happy to say coaching is just as enjoyable. The team fought hard right to the final whistle in every game and this effort was rewarded with two last minute equalisers. We finished the group stage with 2 draws and 2 losses.

This gave us a match for 7th place. Despite tiredness the team kept working hard for each other and managed to get a 1 - 0 victory in their last game. They should be very proud of themselves finishing 7th out of 10 much larger schools. Thanks to all the parents that came to cheer us on too. A massive well done to: Albert , Ayush , Emilia, Jenson, Morris, Ollie, Logan, Riley and Mia.
