Words can't express how proud and impressed I am with these young men today! But I'll try anyway... The postponed Year 6 boys football from a few weeks ago was rearranged to today - 5 days before SATS! - but we were determined to ensure all those that had previously signed up could still go. Thank you to Miss Saunders and Mrs Jenkins for changing plans to make it work. In some unexpected sunshine, the two teams really shone. Apparently WhatsApp groups had been created last night to discuss tactics and the excitement had certainly built to a crescendo as the first ball was kicked. Once again, the boys took charge of their formations and decision making - true leadership and teamwork on show. The yellows started slowly but surely then really got into their stride with a stunning 5-1 victory midway through the tournament. A wonderful team goal saw Leo finish a great team move by sweeping home an unstoppable strike from the edge of the area in arguably the best goal of the day. Each and every player got better as the day went on and the team enjoyed some brilliant collective moves as well as individual winning moments that the boys can relive in their minds for a long time to come. And so to the blues. Wow! Undefeated all tournament and playing some of the best team footy I've seen in a Calmore shirt. Absolutely stunning togetherness and interplay between the six of them saw the boys initially qualify top of the 25 team pile before eventually finishing with a bronze medal - conceding a last minute equaliser in game 7 denied them top spot...but their play was nothing short of golden. Watching all the boys play today was a privilege and yet again demonstrated that sport brings more than just victory and defeat. I witnessed friendship, encouragement, resilience, bravery, fun, disappointment, unity. It's only football...but so much more than that
