On Monday this week, the 6 a side team comprised of; Harrison S, Jacob D (captain), Max S, Oliver C, Arthur F and Jake T went to Barnsley Football Club in the EFL semi final leg for the Barnsley/ Wakefield district having previously won the preliminary stage in the previous week. The boys won every match and grinded out a win after coming back from 1-0 down to beat Fairburn View 2-1 in the final. They remain undefeated in the EFL cup and now represent Barnsley Football Club and are set to take on the likes of Newcastle and Manchester on March 10th in the North East Counties National Finals. The boys are a real credit to the school and are one step closer to Wembley Stadium. Well done, boys! Have a well earned Christmas break!

Y5/6 Girls Exceed Expectation at South Yorkshire Finals

Today, the U11 girls football team exceeded all expectation after finishing second in the whole of South Yorkshire. The 8 best teams in South Yorkshire took part in the county football finals in hope to be crowned national finalists. Not only did the girls only lose just one game out of 7 but they also finished second place out of a staggering 200+ schools in SY. They won 3 games, drew 3 and lost one. A huge thank you to Miss Kennedy, who has worked hard on getting the team to the standard they are today. Well done girls from all staff at PSJP!
