On Thursday 7th July, the Year 5/6 football team (plus a couple of year 4’s) took part in the Staindrop European Championships. Representing Croatia, the team played brilliantly throughout the group stages. They finished top of Group 2 having won 3 and drawn 1 of their games. Incredibly, our defense did not concede a single goal in these matches and showed an amazing team spirit and togetherness.
Unfortunately, we were unable to replicate our earlier form in the quarter-final, losing the game 4-0 to the eventual runners-up of the tournament. However, I was extremely proud of the team and their achievements. It bodes well for next year, with some excellent potential to come into the team from our current Year 4’s and 5’s. Well done boys, terrific effort!
Mr Crowther.
