Friday 4th October, was a warm but wet day at Lingfield College for the U11 ISA 5-a-side Football competition. There were 24 schools, split into 4 teams but only one could be the winner!
Milan, Vivienne, Alec, Bonnie, Laurence, Caiden and Jude all represented Oakhyrst Grange and we were all full of excitement. The first match kicked off at 10.30am. The game was short but unfortunately we ended up losing 4-0 to a very strong team. Our second game saw us up against the eventual winners of the whole competition, Breaside. We lost 6-1 but on the bright side we scored our first goal of the day and ended up being the only school to score against Breaside all competition.
Our third match saw us play Lingfield College. It was a match which went back and forth with Jude scoring our 2 goals, but we narrowly lost 3-2. However, in our 4th match we won an amazing 5-0, with Caiden, Laurence and Vivvy all getting on the scoresheet. Our last group match against Weston Green was a hard fought 1-1 draw.
In our group, we finished in 5th place out of 6, narrowly missing out on progressing to the knockout stages. We did however get the chance to then play some friendly games with other schools who were knocked out. It was a great day of football and we all really enjoyed it.
