Football Tournament

Medal winner Tom!

On Thursday we took Tom to an after school football tournament at Settle.  There were 8 teams made up of year 3 and 4 players.  They were split into 2 groups so played 3 matches each and then there were play offs for each position.

Tom's team did really well - they won each match easily in the group stages, and then had to play the winners of the other group to see who won over all.  Unfortunately the winners of the other group were Settle, and we knew they were good (they thrashed us last week during a friendly).  However, after a good talking to by one of the Craven coaches, they played really really well.  It was an equal match, so much so that it went into golden goal time.


Unfortunately Settle scored - it was a cracking goal, one that couldn't be saved, so Ingleton came second overall, but they all played so hard that we were proud of them all.  They got given silver medals and were pretty excited about the whole thing.

We went to Pat and Bob's afterwards for tea and to warm up - we were freezing.  In fact, when we got home we were still cold, so cracked open a mulled wine - it worked, although it meant we were good for nothing for the rest of the day!
