Primary Inclusion Football 09.03.2022

 

Wednesday 09th March 2022 – Another fantastic turn out for our termly PSSP Primary and Special Schools Football festival. We had 9 teams with us today, representing Montpelier, St. George’s, Pennycross, Bickleigh Down, Holy Cross, Widey Court, Old Priory, Yealmpstone Farm and Cann Bridge. We play a round-robin style event for this one which means all of the schools get to play each other. 5 points are awarded for a win, 3 points for a draw and 1 point for a loss. Although schools are competing for points, the main focus for us today is to provide children with an opportunity to have some fun, be active and meet new people. For many of the children with us this morning, this was their first opportunity to represent their school in sport and some were, understandable, a little anxious. As soon as we got underway though, you definitely wouldn’t have noticed! Soon everyone was far too busy to be nervous and there were smiles all round. Once all 9 rounds were completed, it was time to collate the scores… Congratulations to Montpelier and Holy Cross who both finished joint first on the same amount of points! Congratulations as well to Pennycross who finished in second place overall on their first time with us, and to Widey Court who were just behind them in third place overall. Well done to all of our teams today, you played incredibly well and there was some great Football being played. I really hope that you all enjoyed it and would be keen to come back again for another event. I would like to say a huge thank you to the incredible team of young leaders from Stoke Damerel: you did a brilliant job of refereeing and scoring and the event went really smoothly thanks to you. Thank you Miss Crowe for such top quality leaders! Our next inclusive Football event is on Wednesday 04th May 2022 – I look forward to seeing you all there.
