Earlier this week, Year 4 attended a School Games organised football tournament at Aston Fields Middle School. Two teams of girls and one team of boys played against other teams from Bromsgrove and the surrounding areas.
During the tournament, the teams were divided into groups and the children played three matches within their group. On the boys side, they began with a 3-0 loss to Fairfield but then after a team talk about working as a team, they went on to win the next two games beating Finstall A 2-1 and Crown Meadow 1-0. This meant that we reached the semi-finals against a tough opponent in Stoke Prior.
The Girls' Yellow team had a tough group and unfortunately lost all of their games not without showing real endurance and teamwork. Blue team had some difficult matches but managed to finish first in their group. First they played Crown Meadow and won 2-1, then it was Lickey Hills which was a draw at 1-1 and finally against Lickey End, winning 3-1 setting up a tricky game against Finstall.
The girls represented Hanbury exellently in their semi-final but unfortunately came up against a strong opponent in Finstall, losing the game 3-0. For the boys, the teamwork was building well and despite playing a strong outfit in Stoke Prior, a wonder goal secured a 1-0 victory taking the boys into the final.
In the final, it was a tough game against their earlier opponents Fairfield but the boys were a changed team. After a few minutes of play and an excellent cross from Stanley, Henry got the team off to a perfect start with a cool finish. There was some excellent pressing, solid defending and wonderful goalkeeping. Despite their brave efforts, Fairfield got a scrappy goal to equalise minutes before the end. But that did not demoralize the team. The game was back and forth and each team had many opportunities to win. After what seemed like forever, a luck bounce of ball and a good finish unfortunately ended the hopes of a final victory.
Despite their disappointment, all the children represented the school in an amazing way and all the children should be very proud of how they played throughout the afternoon.
