NFL Flag Football Competition
Tirlebrook enjoyed taking part in the local NFL Flag Festival for the second successive year.
Tewkesbury Primary Schools' Sports Network's NFL Flag Football Competition - Thursday, 20th June 2019
Twelve Y5s headed over to Tewkesbury School to participate in the Tewkesbury regional NFL Flag Football competition. Flag Football is the junior version of American Football, designed to get children involved in the sport at an early age and without physical contact. It was a fine afternoon for playing and although the Tirlebrook Rams lost all four of their matches, they were always in the games and unfortunate to come away without a victory. They lost their first game against the Tewkesbury C. of E. Cardinals by 3 touchdowns to 1 and then lost to eventual winners, the Gretton Giants, by the same score line. In a really close game with the Swindon Village Seahawks, a last-minute touchdown for their opponents saw Tirlebrook lose by 2 touchdowns to 1. And their final match versus the Deerhurst Dolphins ended in a defeat by 1 touchdown to 0. Every player contributed and developed their skills and gameplay understanding throughout the afternoon. Congratulations to Freddie who was picked out as the Rams’ MVP. Well done.
Tirlebrook Rams: Harriet A, William B, Owen B, Hayden D, Matthew F, Oakley H, Isobel M, Freddie P, Joshua S, Rhys T, Lola W & Finlay W
