On Thursday 26th March, the Year 4/5 Futsal finalists headed down to the sports 'Hub' at Paignton Community College. Our matches started with a tough fixture against Oldway Primary School. We started a little shakily and allowed our opponents to score 3 goals, but as the match progressed our confidence grew and we started to show our true skills with some excellent passing and defending. Unfortunately our form came a little too late and we suffered a 3-0 defeat.  The next team we faced were our local rivals Bradley Barton. This time we started off with a lot more confidence, we displayed some fantastic team work and our defence was unbreakable although the final score of this match was 0-0. Finally, we faced Curledge Street. This was a close game and having initially conceded 2 goals, a win was looking a little doubtful. However, Tate found his form to score a hat-trick and secured a 3-2 victory.  As the results came through, we were placed 3rd in our group, only missing out on 2nd place through goal difference. In the play off for 5th or 6th place overall, we were up against Exminster; the team we lost to in the earlier stages.  The match was very tense and whilst we led 1-0 for most of the game, we sadly conceded a goal in the closing seconds. This meant that we were faced with ...PENALTIES!

Without hesitation, Luke stood up as goalkeeper and made a fantastic save, then both Ryan and Harry scored. Unfortunately for Exminster, their next attempt fell wide, meaning that we were victorious!!!
We finished the competition in a very respectful 5th place. Well done boys!!
