The first day back after half term started with one of the highest profile Midlands ISA tournaments- the U11 5-a-side. We always put out a strong team in this event and this year’s squad were no different, winning 6 of their 8 group matches, one a resounding 10-0 victory. However, 1 small, early slip up against Stafford Prep put our semi- final spot in jeopardy. And this proved to be the case as we were edged into 3rd place in the group by a goal difference of 2.

Therefore we played a hotly contested 5/6 playoff against a very strong side from Lichfield which ended in a fair 0-0 draw and so a joint 5th placed finish out of 19 schools was our eventual placing. Well done to all the boys who played with great heart and determination and no shortage of skill.
