Yesterday, our Year 5 and 6 football team played their first game of the season against last year’s winners, St Thomas More. It was an incredible match from start to finish, with both sides creating plenty of exciting chances.
Flynn made played in goal for the very first time and pulled off some superb saves throughout the game. The first half ended goalless, but shortly after the break, we took the lead with a fantastic team goal finished by Seth.
We continued to create several good chances but were unfortunate not to convert any of them. St Thomas More responded strongly, finding their rhythm and scoring three well-taken goals of their own.
With just three minutes remaining, Parker produced a delightful little chip to bring us back to 3–2. Despite some late pressure, we couldn’t quite find the equaliser before the final whistle.
It was an exceptional game from both teams and a brilliant start to the season. Player of the Match, as chosen by the opposing team, was Finlay (Year 5) — well done, Finlay!
A huge thank you to Parker’s mum for sharing the match videos below.
