Year 3 Mixed Football Tournament

On Monday 29^th September some year 3 children (Lily, Anna, Harrison, Josh, Madison and Adam) represented Chilcote in a Baverstock sports partnership mixed 5-aside football tournament.  The tournament was held at Baverstock Academy. The children played 2 matches against 2 different schools. Firstly, they played The Oaks in a tough match. The Oaks took the lead and then grabbed a second goal, which meant they lead 2v0 at half time. The Chilcote team rallied and finally started to take their chances. They managed to score three goals in the second half to win the match 3v2. Chilcote’s next opponents were Hollywood who had beaten The Oaks 3v0, so this meant whoever won this match won the tournament. It was going to be a tough match. Chilcote made a flying start to the match and scored to go 1v0 up. Hollywood then equalised just before half time. Early in the second half Hollywood took the lead, but Chilcote battled back to grab the equaliser. Hollywood took the lead two more times, but each time Chilcote managed to get an equaliser. The match ended 4v4, and was a thrilling game. There was then a period of golden goal extra-time. Both teams had a good chance to score but spurned it. The match was eventually decided by a penalty shootout, with Hollywood triumphing 1v0 after 3 penalties each. The team should be very proud of their efforts as they did really well!!!
