On Friday 10th February 8 year 4 children represented Chilcote at the Year 3 and 4 mixed football finals. The tournament took place at the Playfootball arena in Birmingham. The children had won the local partnership event to book their place at the finals.
The tournament was made up of two groups. All of the teams in the group played each other once. This meant that Chilcote had four matches to try to qualify for the final.
Chilcote started out with a match against Billesley school. Chilcote played really well in the match and after taking a deserved early lead they went on to win 5v2.
In their second match, Chilcote played against Montgomery School who took the lead against the run of play. After Chilcote had equalised they began to get the goals their football deserved and they ended up winning the match 4v2.
The third game proved to be a frustrating one as Chilcote dominated the match for long periods, but Clifton managed to score with their only two shots on goal. Chilcote managed to find the net twice but couldn't quite do enough to grab the winner they needed and deserved. The match finished 2v2.
This meant that Chilcote needed to win their final game to definetly go through as group winners. They raced into a 3v0 lead in the match and were playing superbly well. Then, Meadows School made a couple of changes and the pattern of the game changed. They somehow managed to get themselves back to 3v3. Chilcote had run out of steam and just couldn't get another goal.
This result meant that Chilcote finished in second place in the group on goal difference from Meadows School. So, they played a third and fourth place play off against Perry Beeches School. They played really well and gave everything in the match, but unfortunately didn't quite have the luck they needed and lost the match 6v4. This meant that Chilcote finished as the fourth best schoool in Birmingham - a remarkable achievement!
Well done to all of the children who played in the tournament a fantastic result!!!
