On Friday 24^th March, a group of 20 children from Year 3 and 4 participated in a football tournament at Broadstone Middle School.  We were lucky to take two teams to represent Springdale. 

Each team played a round robin of games against a variety of different schools.  Both teams played very well.  This was the first time the Year 3 and 4 children played together and we were very impressed with their teamwork and cooperation.  There were many goals scored, by many different players, which is a credit to the teams.  The children passed the ball well and were good at finding space.  Plus, lots of strong shots and rebounds.  A super well done to the goal keepers, who had mud and puddles to dive around in. 

Unfortunately, there was a heavy down pour with one game remaining, so the final games didn’t get played.  But the children didn’t let this bother them! They all left the pitch smiling, cheering and a little bit soaked. 

Thank you to all the parents that came to support the teams.  I know the children appreciated the encouraging words and smiles from the side lines.
