• Girl's Football Team Finish 3rd in ESFA Area Finals

  Fri 04 Oct 2019 Mr Fisher
  A huge well done to our Girl's Football team who travelled all the way to Bridgwater College yesterday to compete in the ESFA Area tournament. Competing against twelve other teams from around the Sedgemoor area, the girls were absolutely magnificent! Finishing second in their group of six, the ten girls went on to compete in the 3rd/4th place play off and capped off the day with a medal!!!! With the majority of the team made up of Year 4 and 5 children, this is a remarkable achievement with most other school playing teams of just Year 6. Three wins, two draws and just the one loss is just brilliant and a great way to start the season.....WELL DONE GIRLS!!!
