Football champions

Last Friday, Mr Evitt took 14 Year 5 and 6 boys to Sherborne’s U11 Prep School Football Tournament.

Despite competing against schools with larger squads, our boys stunned opponents with their intensity, tough tackles, sharp passing, skill on the ball and clinical finishing.

We opened with a 0-0 draw against All Hallows before storming through with victories over Sherborne Prep (1-0), Farleigh (2-0), Millfield Prep (1-0), Castle Court (2-0) and Monkton (1-0).

The final match was a thrilling 1-1 draw with Port Regis, taking us to 19 points and clear winners. Having missed out by a single point to Castle Court last year, this triumph felt especially sweet.

Highlights included Zach’s dazzling solo effort against Farleigh (voted goal of the day), while Eddie netted four times. At the back, goalkeepers Stanley and Balthazar proved unbeatable.

The boys should feel immensely proud of their teamwork and performance.
