Keep up to date with all the news happening in school at the moment.
Two teams of Year 4 and 5 boys represented the school this afternoon in a huge Futsal tournament held at Haygrove School in Bridgwater.
The tournament itself attracted 16 teams from all over the area, so as you can imagine, competition was extremely fierce!
There were four pools which meant that each team got to play three group stage matches and a final, dependent on their finishing position in the pool.
Both teams of boys played incredibly well with passion and determination and I was fortunate enough to observe some of the best football I have seen in a very long time!
Our school is considerably smaller than most of the opposition on show which highlights the strength in depth that we have here at St Joseph's.
One of the teams finished with two wins and two loses (amazing), with the other team finishing the competition with two draws and two wins! They didn't concede a goal and even beat the winners of the overall competition in the process!
Well done boys, this was an unbelievable effort and you should be very proud of yourselves!!
This afternoon, both myself and Mr Franklin had the pleasure of accompanying two teams of footballers from St Joseph's to a local area tournament being held at The King Alfred School, Burnham.
The competition drew in schools from the surrounding area and there were representatives from Churchfield, Bridgwater College Academy (BCA), Westover Green, St Mary's, St John and St Francis and Somerset Bridge.
The boys were amazing putting on a determined and spirited effort in every game and at the same time playing some brilliant football! One of our teams even ended finishing the competition unbeaten!
What makes these performances even more remarkable is that out of the 17 boys that participated, only one of them was in Year 6 meaning that the future of football looks really rosy at St Joseph's!! WELL DONE LADS.
