Y5 Football League
16th March at Notre Dame School
On Monday 16th March, HBJ took two Year 5 teams to compete in the Y5 Leagues at Notre Dame School.
As one of seven teams, they had six 7-a-side games against different schools, which lasted 10 minutes each. As a team, before the tournament the boys decided that rather than having a traditional stronger and weaker A & B team team they would split the strong players across the teams, giving boys who haven't represented the school before a chance to play.
Both teams made good starts but the turning point was when the "A's" played the "B's" in their third and second game respectively. Both teams had a good go but the "A's" were more clinical taking their chances, over a short period of time. The "B's" whilst creating a lot didn't manage to get a shot on target and this proved to be their undoing. In the end the scoreline didn't really reflect what was actually a very close game.
Tough games continued for both teams but with previous results going in their favour going into the final game, the “A’s” had to play Nethergreen A. Due to drawing the first game, they had a clear picture of what they needed to do. If they won the game against Nethergreen they would win the league! On the other hand Nethergreen A only had to get a draw to win the league.
After a tense opening both teams decided to go for the win. HBJ managed to capitalise during transitions with some good counter attacking and created a lot of chances. Jamie C managed to grab the all important goal, during one of these counter-attacks in the first half. The second half followed the first and some brilliant defending from the team especially at the end after facing a barrage of corners from a skillful and determined Nethergreen team meant the game finished 1-0. With the win the "A's" remained unbeaten in winning the league!
All of the Year 5's can feel very proud of the roles they played in achieving this league win. A special mention must go to Jet & Zayan (above) who were invited into the teams to play even though they are both Year 4 pupils. A thank you also to Mr Ellis (Student teacher) and Mr Fairweather who came to help the boys on the night.
