Year 3/4 Football Tournament

Our Year 3/4 boys represented the school brilliantly at the Bradfords Cup football tournament held at the Devon FA Headquarters before half term. Competing in challenging hot temperatures throughout the day, the team made an excellent start. They created impressive victories against Gatehouse and Chudleigh, while also pushing Galmpton all the way in a closely contested match that ended in a narrow defeat. These strong performances secured a second-place finish in their group and a well-deserved place in the Cup competition.

The Cup group featured some very strong and experienced opposition but the boys showed fantastic determination, teamwork and resilience. They earned a hard-fought victory over Kingskerswell and were unfortunate to narrowly lose their final two matches against Sherwell Valley and Blackpool. Despite missing out on a place in the finals, finishing third in such a competitive Cup group was a tremendous achievement.

As part of our 30 Ways to Connect, this event provided a wonderful opportunity for the children to represent their school, connect with pupils from other schools, and demonstrate our values through teamwork, respect, and sportsmanship.

The boys should be extremely proud of the efforts they displayed throughout the tournament. A big thank you goes to all the parents, families, and supporters who came along to cheer the team on and provide fantastic encouragement throughout the day. Also a special thank you to Mrs Tombs-Cousins for her coaching support.
