Year 4/5 Futsal Victory

Today, the year 4 and 5 boys travelled to shoot 5 to take part in a Futsal tournament and stormed to victory. The boys won all of their qualifying matches and bagged themselves a place in the semi finals against shawlands where they won a comfortable 5-1. With this win, they grew in confidence and won in the finals again Silkstone, 3-1, and have now qualified for the South Yorkshire Futsal finals. Well done boys! I would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Woodger for investing time, training the boys during his lunch hour. I think the trophy will be enough to put a smile on his face. What do you think everyone?
