Football Friendly – the season begins!

Football Round-Robin – the season starts

We celebrated our fantastic football teams this morning following their first fixtures of the new school year. Last night, Ruyton hosted a round-robin tournament where Baschurch and Myddle primary school were invited to come and play. It was fantastic to see both of our school fields full of matches, with TWO pitches for the girls’ teams and another for the boys, plus lots of supporters on the sideline!

A special congratulations to all our players who were playing their first ever match last night, particularly amongst the girls: we were so proud to see 14 of our Year 5/6 girls wanting to play and compete! Also to the boy’s team who are made up of mostly Year 4s this year – what a cracking effort to hold some tough teams to close games. We can’t wait for the next match already!
