The \u2018Alfriston Primary School Football Tournament\u2019 is in its second year and was set up as a \u2018post SATs\u2019 event for Year 6 students. East Hoathly were invited to take part and as we are obviously a small school Year 5 children were also invited to take part.<\/p>\n

Ten teams were invited and were divided into two pools of five. East Hoathly started well, winning our first match 1-0.<\/p>\n

The team were tested early on in the second match as they went down 0-1 to an early goal but they fought back and won 2-1.<\/p>\n

They continued to play well for the next two games winning 3-0 and 4-1 which meant that they finished top of their pool and were through to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

They faced Lewes Old Grammar.<\/p>\n

Obviously as the team had now progressed through to this stage the opposition was becoming tougher and they went 0-2 down. However, once again they all kept their heads up, encouraged each other and worked as a team to come back and win 3-2.<\/p>\n

We had made it to the final!<\/p>\n

We faced the hosts, Alfriston. The game, between the two best teams on the day, was always going to be tight and this certainly was the case with the score 0-0 at full time. With no extra time at this level of the game, it was straight to the (dreaded) penalties.<\/p>\n

A nerve racking end to the game for both teams and, of course, for the goalkeepers and the penalty takers.<\/p>\n

It was a proud moment for them all, including Mr Lawrence (the new Gareth Southgate) and Miss Purcell (who I thought was going to faint under the pressure of a penalty shoot out) as we won 4-3.<\/p>\n

There were, obviously, some amazing individual performances on the pitch but it would not be right to highlight them because this was a team effort and all in the spirit of East Hoathly School \u2018Vision\u2019.<\/p>\n
