Y5/6 Boys Strike Again

The Y5/6 boys football team had their turn tonight to prove themselves and they didn't disappoint. Some incredible performances this evening with the veterans of the side showing the new recruits how we play. The team worked well together, not losing a game and finished top of league without conceding a goal. It's fair to say, some of the goal celebrations need working on. The boys have now progressed to the Barnsley Finals held after half term. A well deserved rest! Well done, boys!!!
