Football Update

This week we took a record number of teams to the local primary football tournament. No school has ever taken 5 teams and we are very proud of all involved.

In the end we got 4 teams to the semi-final stages of the 2 competitions and 2 teams in to the finals but they were beaten in very good games.

Below are some reports by each of the team captains. We would like thank Cathy Devereux and Lions in the Community coaches, Rhonda Sturges and her sport leaders from Harrow Way and the Sparsholt College Sport students for organising the whole day so well!

We would also like to thank Mr Dewhurst (Tia's dad) and Mr Mundy (Ben's dad) for helping out with the teams.

Portway Black played their best and tried their hardest all afternoon. We got quite tired nearer the end but we still kept our confidence up all through! Thank you to Simon our manager. We were unlucky and didn't get through to the semi-finals but it was so close! My man of the tournament is Jamie Riley. All our team played really well! Well done!!! 

Team:  Tia Dewhurst, Oliver Hunt, George Peacock, Jamie Riley, Oliver Lee, Joshua Wells, Gareth Major, Phoebe Clark
