Quarter-Finalists at Portman Road Stadium 2019

On Tuesday, eight boys from year five and six participated in a football tournament at Portman Road. The boys performed brilliantly and made it through to the semi-finals and played Britannia A; another school with a strong sporting legacy. We would like to thank parent helpers for transporting and supporting the boys.

On the 22nd January 2019, there was a boys football tournament based at Portman Road. It was a really cool experience being allowed to play next the stadium. Before the tournament, all the schools were put into groups of four. So, we had to play four different schools. We lost one, drew none, and won three; we came 2nd in our group. We were thrilled when we heard we were in the quarter-finals, but not so happy when we were told we were against the best team, and with the biggest goals on the astro! Unfortunately, we lost two nil. All of us were really disappointed but we reached the quarter-finals which was a great achievement!

On 22nd January, me and seven others went to Portman Road and played in a 6-aside football tournament. We won 3 out of 4 group matches and came second in our group. In the quarter-finals, we played the best team there and lost 2-0. It was really fun and I hope to do something like it again.
