On Wednesday, our football team had their first outing at Shephalbury School and took part in a tournament with five other Stevenage teams. The boys and girls were a credit to their coach Miss Simmons and Almond Hill. Their work ethic and team spirit saw them go on to do really well. Below is a report from our team captain Alex Watkins...

Yesterday, me, Teddy, Dawson, Mollie, Deniz, Cleo, Oliver G and Keiyan all went to a football tournament to determine what league we were placed in. Luckily, the first game pressure paid off as we won 1-0. These games were very intense as they were 8 minutes long and one way. We had to play with 3 subs and there were 5 games. Together as a team, not one of us moaned and we all participated and didn’t argue with any refs. Luckily, we can in the top two so we will be playing soon again in the final (17/10/2023). Our resilience and style of play showed how good we can be as a team and as a school.

Harry G was not able to come to this event and Teddy had to leave half way. Great goalkeeping from Ollie and well done to our player of the week, George!
