Year 4 Community Shield Winners!

On a sizzling afternoon, Mr McCann and Mr Blain took a team of boys and girls to compete in the Altrincham FC Community Shield, held at Altrincham Football Club. 

The Year 4 team had group games against Park Road Academy (6-0 win), Stamford Park (2-2 draw) and Bollin (1-0 loss) before a tense semi-final against Stamford Park.  Two quick fire goals from Oscar took St. Vincent's into a comfortable 2-0 lead at the half time interval, with the whole team working hard and working well together.  However, after half time, Stamford Park attacked with gusto, scoring an excellent goal to bring the tie to a tense close. Ethan stayed resolute throughout in goal, rarely giving any opportunities for the opposition to get a sniff at goal. with only seconds left, Thomas finished the tie, firing home a stunning effort after a brilliant solo run.  St. Vincent's were in the final against Brexton.

The final was thrilling, with excellent performances around the park, notably from the interplay between Thomas, Lily, Aaron and Oscar and the excellent defending from Jasmine, Kitty and Rose.  One effort from Oscar was cleared off the line and another flew past the post.  Ethan did well to save a few Brexton efforts before Thomas and Oscar scored excellent goals to put St.Vincent's in a commanding position.  The defence stayed strong and the shield was secured as the final whistle blew and St. Vincent's were declared the champions!

Well done to the whole team for a wonderful achievement.
