Year 6 Boys' Football Tournament

On Friday 30th September the year 6 boys' football team played in a football tournament against fifteen other schools. The tournament took place at Yardley Wood playing fields.

The teams were split into four groups with the top team going through to the semi-finals.

Chilcote started against Acocks Green school and despite dominating for the entire game couldn't score so the game ended 0v0. Next, they played against Hollywood and again it was a similar story they just could not get the goal their play deserved and the game ended 0v0. This meant that they had to beat Yarnfield 2v0 in their final game to qualify. The game started in the same vain as they couldn't find a goal, but then it clicked and Chilcote scored two goals in quick succession. They got the result they needed and won 2v0 to qualify for the semi-finals.

In the semi-finals Chilcote played against Moseley. The game was very even and both teams had chances but neither side took theirs until a couple of minutes from the end and Chilcote headed in a winner from a cross. They held on and won the game 1v0.

In the final Chilcote played against Holy Souls. It was an even game with Holy Souls creating more chances. Just before the break they broke the deadlock and were 1v0 up at half time. Chilcote could not find a goal in the second half and the game ended 1v0 to Holy Souls.

All the boys played really well and should be proud to finish as runners up! Well done to all involved!!!
