Longfleet hosted a football festival, with five other schools invited: Bishop Aldhelm's, Lilliput, St Joseph's, Talbot and Springdale. The fixtures were a round robin of games, with respect, enthusiasm and fun the key themes of the day. Thank you to all of the parents who came to support and the adults for bringing their children. Well done to Mr Mace for managing the Longfleet side and enthusing the children throughout. Another festival looks likely in the near future. 

Our Year 5/6 Lionesses competed superbly at the Dorset Finals, held at Littledown Leisure Centre, finishing 3rd overall in the whole of Dorset. In the group stage, wins against Spetisbury (4-0), Highcliffe (1-0) and St Ives (1-0) ensured we had a place in the semi-finals. The final group stage game was against eventual winners St Walburga's, who beat Longfleet 2-0. This put us against St Michael's, who managed to also beat Longfleet 2-0, albeit with a very strong wind helping them along! A third place play-off against Kingsleigh resulted in a 3-1 for Longfleet, with Poppy G scoring two and assisting one.

More matches are scheduled for the League Cup against Baden Powell and Broadstone in the near future.
