Year 5 - 6 Football Tournament
On Tuesday 1st April Ashton, Conner, Ethan, Calum and Jack in Year 5 and Callum and Callum in Year 6 represented George Street in the Year 5 - 6 tournament at Cavendish. We were disappointed that Sam M was unable to play as he had an injury from rugby. The boys drew their first match against Brockswood but unfortunately lost the next four matches so did not qualify for the next round.
