Boys Football

ESFA Danone Cup for School Teams - County Round
Saturday 31st January - Carre's Grammar School, Sleaford

On a very cold Saturday morning the boys team of Archie, Harley, Ben H, Ben P, Alfie, Keelan, Freddie, Louis and Ethan travelled to Sleaford to take on the other district champions in the hope of being crowned county champions for a third year in a row.

Our first game was against Boston West. We had only just started playing when it started to snow and by the end of the match the snow was settling fast. We won this game 2 -0.
 Our second game was against William Alvey from Sleaford. By now the pitch was completely covered and the touchlines were having to be scraped clear. The team from Sleaford turned out to be too quick and strong for us and won the game 2 - 0.
Our final group game was against The Meadows School (representing Lincoln). This was a very close game against a very strong and aggressive team. In spite of probably playing the better football we were unable to get the breakthrough we needed and our opponents took one of their few chances to win the game 1 - 0. They then went on to win the whole competition.
With 7 of our 9 players coming from year 5 we will hopefully be back to make a strong challenge next year.
