The Year 6 football team took part in a 7-a-side tournament at St John Fisher High School.  They played 5 matches in total. Each match lasted 10 minutes. At the end of the tournament, Crowlees has won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 1. Unfortunately for us, St Mary’s Batley had also finished on 10 points, however they had scored more goals overall which meant they were the winners. Despite the disappointing result, the boys enjoyed the tournament and played some super football. I was impressed with the speed, teamwork and resilience shown by the boys. Well...
