A huge well done to our year 5/6 girls football team that competed in the Preston district girls football competition yesterday. We competed with all school sizes, rather than just small schools. With 3 wins and 1 loss we finished top of our group and went through to the quarter finals. Despite a great effort, against a much bigger school, we lost 2-0 and didn't make it through to the next round.
To compete with and beat some of the best schools in the entire district is a superb achievement for the girls. We are very proud of their performance and how girls football has developed at the school over the last few years. Superb work!

On Thursday 3rd October 2019 the football team; Cosmo DG, Jack G, Zach I, Finlay H, Charlie P, Zac B, Dylan W and Finley B set off to play at the play football tournament with 12 other schools. Our school team played 5 matches winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 2. Our first matches were going brilliantly, 2 clean sheets for Zach in goal and the defenders. But unfortunately our run came to an end following 2 consecutive losses. But all our heads stayed up and we won one penalty shootout with Jack in net. We came third out of twelve and all the children earned a bronze medal to take home. It was a huge achievement for our school and the football team are very proud of themselves.

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!
