On Wednesday 2nd April, pupils from Year 4, 5 and 6 represented our school in the final round of The Vale of White Horse Small Schools League tournament, hosted at Harwell School. Competing against three other teams, our players demonstrated incredible determination, skill, and teamwork, culminating in an astonishing league victory by a single point.
The tournament kicked off with our first match against Harwell. Despite our best efforts, we struggled to break through their defence and ultimately suffered a 2-0 defeat.
Next, we faced Stanford. Early in the match, we found ourselves trailing 2-0, but with resilience and teamwork, we fought back to equalize, ending the game with a hard-earned 2-2 draw.
Our final match was against Whitchurch. We conceded an early goal, putting us 1-0 down. However, just before halftime, our team responded with two crucial goals. The second half saw an outstanding performance, with three more goals added to our tally. Archie, Jai, Kian, and Ivee all found the back of the net, securing a resounding victory.
To our amazement and delight, we discovered that we had won the entire league by just one point!
“The hard work and resilience of the pupils has made the school proud!” said Miss Reeder, Headteacher.
The achievement was both surprising and incredible, proving that perseverance and teamwork can lead to remarkable success.
