The Chronicle

On Saturday 8 October, eight Junior 4 and 5 boys travelled to Repton Prep for their annual U10 football festival. The team played five excellent matches, all back-to-back without a rest. Despite the tough schedule, their attitude was brilliant throughout and they definitely improved as a team. Admirably, it was their ability to bounce back from disappointment that impressed most. Whenever they conceded a goal, they showed amazing determination and great skill to try and fight back, almost always creating a goalscoring opportunity. They also showed some exciting skills, and the highlight of the afternoon was Leo’s double Maradona spin, evading four players! A special mention must also go to Harry ‘Schmeichel’ B, who was outstanding in goal. Well done to all players who were involved.

U11B team played Bilton Grange on Wednesday. The final score was 1-0 to Bilton but the girls were fantastic and showed great determination. It was a brilliant result girls.

Crackley Hall played a very experienced Bilton Grange side on Wednesday. Crackley dug deep, showing great tackling and breakdown skills throughout the game. Mrs Thomas was impressed with how the team stuck together and showed great resilience against a very well drilled side.
