On Saturday 12th October, a team of Year 5 & 6 pupils attended the annual Caterham School Football Festival. 8 schools battled it out for either the Cup or the Plate.
Oakhyrst Grange were put into a group with Caterham Prep, Banstead Prep and Hawthorns Schools. The results are below:
Oakhyrst v Hawthorns – 2-1 loss (Vivienne the goal scorer)
Oakhyrst v Caterham – 4-0 loss
Oakhyrst v Banstead Prep – 1-1 draw (Caiden the goal scorer)
This meant that we finished 4th in our group (on goal difference) and had to play Elmhurst School in a plate semi-final. The result didn’t go our way (4-0 loss) but Elmhurst were a very strong side and were the overall Plate Winners.
The team stuck together really well and didn’t let their heads drop despite some tough matches. We were very proud to be the only school at the competition to have girls within our team and they both performed brilliantly. The team will continue to work together to improve for future fixtures and matches.
