English Schools Football Association (ESFA) Cup
Monday 16th October 2023
On Monday 16th October, the ESFA Cup round 1 (Group E) took place at King Edward’s VII School.
The ESFA Cup is a competition with several rounds and if you keep winning your round you could eventually end up playing at Wembley Stadium, the home of English football.
In the first round of the tournament, Hunter’s Bar had to face Lydgate, Greystones and Westways. This was a Y6 tournament, but some Y5’s played up. We won our first, third and sixth game with goals from Oscar S, Effie C and a penalty from James O.
In our last game Effie had another shot which rattled the crossbar - I think it’s only just stopped rattling now! In our fourth game, we drew a tense game against Greystones. Both of our games against Lydgate however, we lost, but, we always kept on going.
The players of the tournament were Oscar, Effie and Ben Anderson for their efforts in the different games chosen by Mr Adebola & Mr Fairweather.
