Football Success

On Tuesday 4th November the school took part in the district round of the ESFA Danone Cup.

Our girls team of Tarne, Sarah, Alex, Holly, Jeniffer, Ava, Amy, Chloe and Ruby were in a league with Friskney and Woodhall Spa. As there were only 3 teams in their competition they had to play each school twice.

In the first game we beat last year's winners Friskney 6 - 0. In our second game we beat Woodhall by a goal to nil. In the rematches we beat Friskney 3 - 0 and Woodhall 5 - 0.

This meant we finished 1st with Friskney 2nd and Woodhall 3rd. 

In the boys' competition we were defending champions and we were up against 4 other schools. 

The team of Archie, Alfie, Ben H, Declan, Harley, Ben P, Freddie, Ethan and Louis began with a game against Alford. We got off to a good start with a 2 - 0 win. Our second game was against Seathorne. The match ended in a 1 - 1 draw. 
Our third match was a 1 - 0 win against Burgh. 
We knew a win in our last game would give us the title and put us through to the county finals with the girls. In a very end to end match we ran out 5 - 3 winners against Skegness Junior Academy. 
The final placings in the boys league: 
Richmond 1st
Seathorne 2nd
Alford 3rd
Skegness JA 4th
Burgh 5th

Overall both teams played very well and are both through to the county finals. The girls will be visiting Sleaford on 24th January with the boys visiting on the 31st January.
