YEAR 5/6 FOOTBALL - LES RIGGS CUP FIRST ROUND HOLY TRINITY AND ST JOHN’S MARGATE VS HOLY TRINITY RAMSGATE

The starting lineup – Aaron in goal, Leo and Fin in defence, Brendan as defensive midfielder, Roman as a boxto-box midfielder, Jacob in attacking midfielder and Bradley upfront, with William on the bench. The first half was very end to end with the majority of the chances falling in our favour. The second half was similar to the first. With good football from both teams, ending without goals to separate them, leading to extra time. The match continued with the same intensity with chances for Roman, Bradley and Jacob. Unfortunately, they were kept out by the Holy Trinity Ramsgate goalkeeper. In the final few minutes the ball dropped on the edge of the box to Jacob and he smashed it into the top right corner to take us through to the next round. Well done to everyone who took part.

Quarter Finals v Bromstone 1-1 (Bromstone win 4-2 on penalties)

The year 6 football team were in action on Monday afternoon and put in a heroic effort in the quarter finals of the Les Riggs Cup, only to be defeated on penalties by Bromstone.  The game started off at a frantic pace and we deservedly took the lead mid-way through the first half after good work from Jacob set up William, who converted from close range.  In the second half, Bromstone threw everything they had at Holy Trinity and equalised late on despite some amazing goalkeeping skills from Aarron.  The game ended 1-1 and went to extra time and then penalties.  Everyone should be extremely proud of how they have performed and the teamwork, togetherness and resilience shown was absolutely fantastic.  Well done, you did the school proud.
