After a series of hard-fought battles against some very strong teams, the Year 5 and 6 boys came out on top. As a result, they progressed to a 'Champions' League' type tournament against other league winners, held at none other than Arsenal's training ground. Mr Field's report of the day is below, along with a selection of photos. Congratulations to all the boys who have taken part this year, and many thanks to Mr Field and Miss Essex for their expert coaching, and to all parents and staff who have supported the team.
The day was comprised of the 6 winners of the regional leagues in Hertfordshire, who were invited to play a tournament at Arsenal's Training Ground in London Colney. The 6 teams were split into 2 groups of 3 and played each other in a round robin on the indoor astro-turf pitches. The standard was very high (as expected) and we played valiantly. We lost our first game 4-2 against Bushey Manor and lost our second 3-1 against St Nicholas. This unfortunately meant we didn't get through to the semi-finals/final.
We played St Anthony's in a 5th/6th place play-off and drew this game 1-1. This meant despite not winning a game, we can still boast that we are the (joint) 5th best team In Hertfordshire!
Bryn was on target as usual and scored all of our goals. The boys will all receive a medal for winning our regional league in Friday's assembly.
We also managed a bit of celeb spotting and caught glimpses of Arsenal and England players - Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain!
