Football

27th February 2023

A huge well done to the mixed year 5/6 football team, who overcame Corrie Primary School in the first round of the Tameside Schools Football Tournament. Despite going behind early on, they came back strongly, eventually winning 4-2. All the players showed great team spirit and they should be proud of their efforts against a good team. Mr Tomkinson
