Wednesday 15th October 2026 - Today was our first ever Girls only PSSP Inclusive Football event for secondary-age students in mainstream and special schools. Run by girls for girls, this event was one to remember. We only had 4 teams with us today, but I have a feeling this is going to become a very popular event in future terms. Representing their schools today were students from Cann Bridge, Plympton Academy, Stoke Damerel and Tor Bridge High. There was a real buzz in the air as the teams started to arrive and this continued throughout the event. Our team of all-female Sports Leaders from Stoke Damerel Community College were on hand to referee and score the games but also to be positive role models for the team players. They did an incredible job, everyone who took part had a great time, so thank you for all your hard work today. This event is a round-robin  so every school gets to play all the others. 5 points are awarded for a win, 3 points for a draw and 1 point for a loss. Once all the games were completed, we finalised the scores, and we had a certificate presentation in the clubhouse. In the end, 2 teams finished on the same points for 3rd and 4th place and 2 teams finished on the same points for 1st and 2nd spots.

To establish the final order, we looked back over the number of goals scored throughout the tournament, so the final results were (drum roll please)… Congratulations to Tor Bridge High, who were our overall winners today and to Cann Bridge who were our runners-up. Well done to everyone who took part today, I really hope that you all enjoyed it and would be keen to come back again. I am definitely going to host more of these events – I had the best time!
