Poole 7-a-side Tournament
On Thursday 5th October, the Longfleet Lions (our Y6 Boys' football team) took part in a 7-a-side tournament hosted by Baden-Powell St. Peter's Junior School. The event featured 10 Poole schools all trying to qualify for the four places in the Poole Regional Final.
The group games started well with a 2-0 win over Hamworthy Junior with goals from Remi and Brodie followed up with a 1-0 victory against Talbot Primary with a second from Remi. They lost their next game 1-0 to Haymoor Junior but a 0-0 draw in the final game against Canford Heath Junior was enough to win the group and qualify for the final.
In the final, they played Oakdale Junior and drew 0-0, sharing the title of joint-winners for the afternoon. The team are looking forward to playing in the Poole Regional Final after half-term. Well done to all of the players and thanks to to the spectators for supporting the team.
