Tonight Year 5 and 6 boys once battled it out in a friendly and not so friendly football tournament against other Congleton schools. We had a few issues appear out of nowhere such as an injury during our warm-up practice, few unfortunate tackles and a surprise substitute.

The first match was Black Firs vs Marlfields. It was a strong start with Thomas saving a number of goals but from out of nowhere two goals were scored against Marlfields.

Our next match was against Quinta. We fought hard and Reece managed to score an absolute brilliant shot from mid field into the goal. However, after a few more tackles and some more amazing saves Quinta beat us 3-1.

Our third match was against Havannah where after a grueling 10 minutes we were beaten 1-0.

When the team thought that we were all done a sudden shock goal by Isaac suddenly put us up 1-0 against Daven.

This amazing win enabled our Marlfields team to enter the final round of the Viking Cup where we played against Smallwood. After another show of skill we played amazingly but were unfortunately knocked out but we were all so proud of the way the team played.

Thank you to the support of the parents and the amazing skills and advice from the ‘gaffer’ Mr Liew. We are all so proud of our Marlfields team.
