Football Tournament at 'Goals'

Yesterday twenty-nine excited footballers from Years 3-6 descended on the 3G artificial football surfaces at 'Goals' to take part in a 6-aside football competition designed to allow all children, regardless of ability, the opportunity to participate in competitive sport against other local schools.

C of E fielded 4 teams who competed in two leagues organised by the Waltham Forest Schools Sport Network - one for Year 3/4 children and the other for Year 5/6 children. Our Year 3/4 'B' team took 2nd place in their league with our 'C' team finishing 3rd. Our Year 5/6 'B' team came 6th in their league with our 'C' team finishing 8th.

Year 3 footballers Hugo, Alex and Matthew were delighted to take part in the tournament. Hugo commented, "I really enjoyed the day at 'Goals' especially when I scored!" Classmate Alex added, "It was my best ever day going to school!" Matthew was just as pleased with the day saying, "I was really proud when I received a medal for coming third."
