Football Tournament

On Tuesday 6th October our school took part in a fantastic football tournament hosted by Goole AFC.  Children from Year 5 and Year 4 played five games and won three of them!  They did particularly well as other teams were mostly made up of pupils from Year 6!  Following the tournament  lots of children and parents stayed behind to watch the cup match between Goole AFC and Tadcaster Albion.  Jayden (from Y5) also had the chance to take penalties at half-time and won a Goole scarf and shirt!  Well done to everyone that came and helped out throughout the evening.
