YEAR 3/4 FOOTBALL TEAM SHOCK SOUTH YORKSHIRE!

Yesterday, the Year 3 & 4 football team traveled to Doncaster in hope to win the South Yorkshire Football Finals, which they had earlier qualified for through their local district. The boys made a slow start to the tournament but found their feet as the tournament went on, winning 4 out of 7 games. Eventually the scores were counted and points were verified. We couldn't believe how well we did coming 2nd out of 8 teams at the South Yorkshire finals. In total 400 schools had entered to tournament prior to the SY Finals and for the boys to have come second was an outstanding achievement. This reflects their willingness to succeed and drive within the football game. We at Penistone St John's are extremely proud of each and every one of you. Well done boys! Thank you to all parents who came to support the team and braved the Yorkshire elements.

Y5/6 Boys to be South Yorkshire champions?

So today hosted the Barnsley football finals where we had two teams that had qualified earlier in the year. It was the hardest tournament to date, with some incredibly high standards of football from the best schools in Barnsley. Our A team did amazingly well but didn't progress past the qualifying stages but our B team went ahead to win the title of Barnsley Football Champions and proceed to the South Yorkshire finals later next week. Well done to both teams for their tremendous effort and thank you to all parents who came to support our teams. Can we win South Yorkshire next?
