On Thursday 28th September, Year 5 & 6 boys represented the school in the first competitive event of the year at Hayes Goals in the Featherstone tournament, with both the Performance and Development teams attending.

The performance team started very strong, winning their group with 4 wins out of 4, scoring 15 goals and only conceding once. Moving on to the Quarter-finals, we faced Dormers Wells and maintained the good momentum with a 3-0 win. Three Bridges were our next opponents, and despite a slow start we grew into the game, finishing with a 2-0 win to secure our place in the final. In the final, we faced St Marks and this was an extremely close game with not much between both teams. Fielding took the lead with an excellent penalty and despite our best efforts, unfortunately lost the game 2-1.

The development team had a positive start in their group and were unlucky not to win, only coming away with a draw, despite creating a large amount of chances against Little Ealing. We then moved on to play Three Bridges and again were slightly unlucky but unfortunately lost the game 2-1. We then had games against Dormers Wells and Selborne but lost 2-1 and drew 0-0 respectively.

All the children did Fielding extremely proud, showing high levels of resilience and respect throughout the day and despite not winning the tournament, it was great to see them showcase and demonstrate their skills and this was highlighted by organisers and other schools.

Thank you & well done to..
