Year 3/4 Football Tournament

At the start of the year, two children from Year 5, Michael and Evie, came to Mr Blain's office to ask Mr Blain if there was any possibility of organising a tournament for the Year 3 and 4 children in the school, as often the football tournaments and leagues on offer in Trafford are for the older children.  Mr Blain agreed and put the two eager Year 5 children in charge of sending out a message to local schools to invite them to the inaugural 'St Vincent's Invitational', a tournament for Y3/4 boys and girls.

The response received was fabulous.  The Bollin, Navigation, Stamford Park, Worthington and Willows all kindly accepted our invitation and the tournament was on.  Some schools brought two teams.  

With our team of Year 5 children officiating the event, the tournament was a huge success (even though the weather was truly dreadful!) and the football on display was excellent.  Both St. Vincent's teams performed superbly and came in joint second place in their groups, narrowly avoiding the semi finals due to an inferior goal difference. 

The final consisted of Bollin A team vs Bollin B team, with Bollin A taking the glory in an exciting final game.  

A special mention must go to the Year 5 team who set up and ran the tournament.  All of the other schools were very grateful and the tournament was hailed a success!  Well done to everyone involved.
