Primary School Football Tournament October 2018
Leading up to our arrival, the boys were extremely excited to see what this huge Lancashire tournament was all about. With over 30 schools competing at the event, we knew there would be some tough opponents for us to face. On our entrance, we were greeted by the organisers and were told our games would take place on the outside pitches, to the delight of all the boys. We competed in 5 highly competitive games that consisted of 6-minute matches. We played brilliantly throughout and won 2, drew 2 and only lost 1 game against the eventual finalists.
With Jack ‘the cat’ between the goal we were in safe hands. He was springing from left to right, pulling off saves of the highest calibre. Cosmo was our consistent ‘Rock’ in the defence, putting his body in the way of any incoming shots and willing to tackle boys much bigger than him, he had the heart of a lion out on that pitch. Luka, Stefan, Lewis and Teddy were our outstanding midfielders who did not stop running, tackling and passing and chipping in with a number of goals. They gave 100% to try to win the matches. Finally, with Liam as our lone striker, we were sure to be a goal threat. With his brilliant quick feet and fierce shooting ability, there was always a chance of winning any game!
Throughout the day, our children set an exceptional standard of behaviour and were an absolute credit to our school. I cannot thank them enough for their contributions to a brilliant afternoon of football. GO RIBCHESTER!
