Y5 & Y6 Football League Round 1
Our football team had a mixed afternoon in terms of results, but a brilliant one in terms of attitude, at the first round of the Tewkesbury Primary School's Y5 & Y6 Football League.
Y5 & Y6 Football League Round 1 – Tuesday 25th November @ Tewkesbury School
Our Y6 football team headed over to Tewkesbury School for the first round of the Y5 & Y6 Tewkesbury Primary Schools’ Football League. They played a total of 4 games in all – winning two and losing two. A slow start to the competition saw the team fall to a narrow defeat at the hands of the John Moore before a rather more resounding loss to Tewkesbury C. of E. Despite these early setbacks, the team never gave up and continued to remain positive. Following a team discussion and a change of formation, 2-0 and 3-0 victories ensued against Mitton and Queen Margaret’s respectively. Rhys (2), Finlay (2), Jayden and Owen all found the back of the net throughout the afternoon and there was some excellent passing and teamwork on display. The results leave Tirlebrook handily placed to challenge for medals with a further three matches to be played when the next round of the league takes place in February. Congratulations to Owen (Passion) and Jayden (Determination) who were awarded School Games values bands in recognition of the attitudes they displayed throughout the competition. Many thanks too to Mrs. Gosden for accompanying the team and supporting them so positively.
Squad: William B, Owen B, George C, Matthew F, Jayden P, Joshua S, Rhys T & Finlay W
It was also great to see three of our former pupils, Callum, Oscar and Luke, who were all refereeing at the competition. They looked happy … and did a great job. It is brilliant to see them continuing with their sporting interests at secondary school and helping to run a competition that they themselves participated in and benefitted from just two years ago. Thank you guys!
