Cheltenham B Team Football Festival
Ten Y5 and Y6 children headed over to Prestbury St. Mary's to participate in this season's Cheltenham and North Tewkesbury School Sport Network's B Team Football Festival.
Cheltenham and North Tewkesbury School Sports Network's Football Festival @ Prestbury St. Mary's - Friday, 23rd March 2018
It was great to be able to take a football team over to Prestbury St. Mary's Primary School to participate in this season's Cheltenham Football Festival. The team played really well and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to play together. They encouraged one another and showed determination, a super positive attitude, resilience and fantastic teamwork. Led brilliantly by captain Rachel Bagley, every player put 100% into the three matches, with the rosy red cheeks at the end of each game indicative of this. Aaron Lyon was particularly influential, winning tackles, making superb defence-splitting passes and consistently putting pressure on the opponents. Each game was closely fought, and despite the team not registering a single goal, the children were certainly competitive and the score lines did not truly reflect the close nature of each match. Defeats to Oakwood, Lakeside and Prestbury didn't dampen anyone's spirits and the team never gave up. There were some impressive moments of football too, from a towering defensive header from Eleanor Dyball to a wonderful point-blank save from Calum Pryce. Once more, it was a pleasure to accompany the team. Many thanks to Mr. Tomkins and Mr. Lockley for arranging this opportunity for the children and supporting them throughout the event.
Squad: Rachel Bagley (captain), Alfie Cull, Eleanor Dyball, Charlie Hancox, Megan King-Smith, Alex Lucking, Aaron Lyon, Elliott Parsons, Calum Pryce & Maxwell Scott
