We entered two teams into this competition.

Our performance squad got off to a good start by winning their first game of the tournament by beating St Marks B 3-1. Goals were scored by Noah, Theo and Sev. The team had a clean sheet for their second match against Selbourne B thanks to Jordi the goalkeeper. Due to excellent teamwork in defence and solid passes in attack, they won 2-0. Goals were scored by Reuben in a tense penalty shootout and Tem’s goal was assisted by Sev. Our third match was against Oaklands A where we played defensively due to the attacking pressure. Eventually, the team spotted an opportunity and Tem scored a goal making it 1-0 to Fielding. In our last match, the team became complacent at the very end which allowed Little Ealing to achieve a last-minute goal resulting in a 1-1 draw.

Our development squads had an amazing start to the tournament as they won 2-1 against Oaklands B 2-1. Yaqoob assisted Zain to score, and Arthur assisted Will. In the second match, we played Selbourne A, who were pressing throughout the match, putting pressure on our defence who worked well together.  Within the last minute of the match Ahmed scored a great goal off a rebound which meant we won 1-0. Charlie our goalkeeper made some excellent saves which allows us to keep a clean sheet in this game.  Next, we played St Marks A, where we lost 1-0 unfortunately but the team put up a great fight and didn’t give up.  Our last match was Mount Carmel where both teams struggled to find the back of the net resulting in a 1-1 draw.

Due to such a high standard of play by both Fielding teams they ended up playing each other in an intense semi-final which even in extra time was 0-0. This meant only one thing penalties. Both coaches had to decide who the penalty takers were going to be. The Fielding performance squad just managed to take the lead. For us as a school, it was a win-win as we knew ultimately it would be a Fielding team that was going to be in the final.  

Unfortunately, the Fielding performance squad lost in the final against St Marks A 1-0.

What an amazing result for our first-ever football competition against 10 local schools.
