This week it was the turn of the Year 6 boys to represent the school at the School Games inter-school football competition, which was held at Spalding Academy. This event is always very competitive, as it leads on to a level 3 competition for the winners.
We took two teams; the teams were split into three groups who all played each other in a round robin in the morning. From the results of this, the teams were then placed into new groups in the afternoon to play another round of matches to determine the overall places. Westfield Reds had a tough start to the day; in fact, their first match was against Market Deeping, the winners of the tournament, losing 6-1. They then lost to Bourne Abbey, which meant they went on to play all the other 3rd place teams in the afternoon. Despite them giving 100% for effort and teamwork and some incredible saves by their keeper, they lost their afternoon matches - the scores were tight, and they should all be very proud of themselves. The Green team won all their matches in the first round which placed them in the pool for 1st/2nd/3rd place. They lost a very tough match to Market Deeping and then convincingly beat St Pauls Spalding to come 2nd overall.
Well done to all the pupils who really did give everything they had - they all improved and for some of them this was their first football tournament. It was lovely to see them working so hard, demonstrating passion, teamwork and resilience. A huge thank you to Mrs McLure Reed for her support on the sidelines.
