Maypole Tournament

On Thursday 15^th May the year 6 boy’s football team took part in the annual Maypole tournament. There were 4 teams present and Chilcote were the defending champions. They played 3 games in the group stages and drew 1 and lost 2, however they still qualified for the semi-finals. They played against one of the teams they had lost to. They drew the game and then neither team could find a way through during extra time, which meant dreaded penalties. Both teams went all the way through their teams (with only one person missing the target) before eventually Chilcote won the penalty shoot-out and made it into the final.

In the final Chilcote started the match asleep and unfortunately fell behind to a bullet header from a corner. They then woke up and began to play. However, the other team were good opponents and held out. Chilcote couldn’t find a goal so finished the tournament as runners up! Well done to all of the boys who have represented the school this year they have done us proud!!!
