Waltham Forest Yr 5 & Yr 6 Girls’ 7-a-side Football Tournament
C of E fielded two teams in today’s tournament at Goals, South Chingford.
The ‘B’ team put in some sterling performances displaying a great deal of resilience and tenacity in the league stage of the tournament but just missed out on qualifying for the later stages of the competition.
The ‘A’ team managed to win all their league games and advanced with ease through the quarter finals and semi final stages of the competition to earn a spot in the final.
The final was a 3 way affair involving ‘round robin’ matches between C of E, Ainslie Wood and St Mary’s RC.
The ‘A’ team, made up of predominantly Year 5 players, ran out of steam in the final losing both of their games. However, to finish third in a competition that involved 36 teams is no mean achievement and the players were proud to take home with them some very well-earned bronze medals.
