Year 4 mixed football tournament

On Wednesday 1^st October some year 4 children (Lily, Ailish, Nicole, Harry, Rayan, Damian and Cian) represented Chilcote in a Baverstock sports partnership mixed 5-aside competition at Baverstock Academy. The tournament was a round robin event with the children playing 3 other schools. In the first game the children played The Oaks primary school and raced into a 3v0 lead. They then let a goal in, which meant it was 3v1 at half time. In the second half The Oaks were reinvigorated and managed to get back on level terms. Chilcote retook the lead only for The Oaks to score another equaliser. Then, with only a few minutes remaining Chilcote won the game with a penalty kick scored by Damian. The match ended 5v4. In the second game (against Kings Norton) it was much the same as the first with Chilcote racing into a 3v0 lead, thanks to a hat-trick from Cian. Unfortunately, the children let the lead slip, and this time they couldn’t recover it so went on to lose the game 5v3. They had chances to get back into the game in the second half but couldn’t find a way past the Kings Norton goalkeeper. Finally, the children played Hollywood, they again took an early lead and then throughout the first half extended the lead to 4v0. Hollywood regrouped in the second half and scored 2 goals back. Chilcote then responded with 2 more goals of their own, meaning the match ended 6v2. Chilcote finished the tournament as runners up to Kings Norton primary, so a big well done to all of the children involved!!!
