Yesterday afternoon our U11 boys Football Team played their semi final cup match game against 'St Mark's Primary'.

 

Our opponents today were skilled and competent opponents.  St Mark's team opened the scoring with a confident first goal; with a second St Mark's goal not long after.  It was difficult for our team to penetrate their defence in the first half and frustration was on the faces of our team.  At half time the Bramford boys were encouraged and reminded to play as a team. 

The game became pacier with our players stepping up their game to match their opponents.  It was then that the breakthrough happened.  Linked play and  perseverance to hold possession of the ball meant chances opened up to us.  With three amazingly ACE Bramford goals scored consecutively, the possession in the second half was very much ours but not without the Bramford defence and goalkeeper having to work extremely hard to keep out some amazingly close near misses too.  The winning goal was scored in the final couple of minutes of the game securing our place in the cup FINALS!    The match ended with a triumphant final score of...3:2...to Bramford!   The team thoroughly deserved this win.

 

As always, thank you to all the parents who spectated.  Mr Vickers and Mrs Harvey, thank you for your time, dedicated coaching and words of encouragement from the sideline. 

 

As a school we are VERY proud of the way the boys performed as a team.  We wait with excitement as to the team we will play in the FINAL and where the match venue will be.
